2013-07-20 Sat/Sun - Dunwich Dynamo DD21

Is anyone getting the train back from Ipswich? Other than Theo and I? It's so expensive! Unless you get the 7.43 which costs a tenner. Hopefully will actually make it back there in time..

Never did see you guys. Left later than planned. Got to beach later than planned. Got a free ride back on the train though, so bonus.

Mostly good except for the mile or so of semi-epic cx singletrack.

Opted for the 3.5m detour.

Glad it was of some use. Rode to Darsham station instead. Knackered.

well that was a really nice dunwich, rode the first half with matt (middleofnowhere, ramaye, al and ian conker
first half of ride was dispatched with much haste, maybe too much haste ( yes you matt ) i don't think i could have kept clinging onto his back wheel all ride
our peleton split at the feed station ( nice to see you skully / oliver ) and ian, al and myself rode on at a more leisurely pace
no real incidents of note, no mechanicals which is always nice ... 3 nicely oiled bikes whipping silently through the night is always a pleasure
the last 20 miles or so seemed to go on for a good while with the breaks becoming ever more frequent
the diet of pork pies and flapjacks kept me energised through the night
the drizzle and grey skies over dunwich were an unwelcome sight as people just wanted to stretch out on the beach and be warm and comfortable ... luckily my rucksack contained a fleece jacket and trousers so i just curled up on the beach and had a kip
left for ipswich and the train, i don't know when, rolled slowly through the suffolk country side as gradually the sun came out
jumped on a train at ipswich with no problems what so ever at about 3.30, 20 or so other bikes in the guards van 3 stops to liverpool street
end of.

great ride, nice to meet lots of forumengers along the way, respect to everyone who did it

Was nice to roll those well oiled miles with you guys.
