well that was my first dynamo and on the whole enjoyable madness , oddly punishing at times , great to ride in groups and not worry about cars so much , tailing the red lights (mustnt lose the red light) ! slightly scary thru epping forest . yobs in cars shouting at us for "riding two abreast" not sure they knew the highway code . anyway i was too tired to shout back ....
later encountered more kids sitting on a wall shouting abuse , again it didnt matter , enjoyed the downhillers into the beer stops , and not so much the uphillers out again :)
i missed one food stop due to bacon sold out . by this time gagging for a cup of tea found one a little bit further on ! was riding with about eight others but by the time we hit lea bridge road , we were splintered already . so just went my own pace and met the others again somewhere in the darkness . hooked up with some nice people along the way but didnt meet any other forum riders until the very end ! mind you i took 10 hours
