Dunwich Dynamo

SO who's doing it? yeah ok but who's gonna be FIXED?

I'd actually planned to do this on the Ribble (roadie) but I reckon once the Etape is out of the way, once I've found a suitable 3/32 cog to match the 42T up front, I reckon I might just go to it fixed on the Soma.

Im also doing it fixed. I ride 52/19. Is this a good idea?

Sounds fine to me for a flatish ride, although I've never done the Dynamo everyone says it's flat..

Yeah even if it wasn't 73" should get you anywhere
well my idea was to book something like a group train ticket back for the London FGSS gang, before it's too late coz there ain't no frickin way i'm pedalling back.

Good idea with the train, I have not aranged anything yet. I am thnking of doingit fixed as well. (52x18, 76 gear inches, a little high so I may buy a 19 tooth cog or just take it like a man)

Yup I'm up for it fixed.

i'll be fixed at the start and broken at the end! train sounds good

Cant wait for it!!! Im going to shoot a documentary on the way. I would love to meet up with a few people before maybe get some interviews, riding shots etc. Anyone interested email me markie4@mac.com.
Also if anyone knows of any good camera mounts lemme know need to keep it light.

"So, why are you riding to Dunwich?"
"DUNWICH! I was just trying to beat the guy in front of me home. WHERE am I?!"

so who has enough organizationals skills to coordinate the booking of a group train ticket?
let's make a list the we'll see who will want to take responsability.

Isn't there a coach organised by the London Cycling association??

http://www.southwarkcyclists.org.uk/social/dunwichfaqs07.shtml

Coach?
We recommend the coaches for the snooze home. We put the bikes in furniture vans with their professional packers. Tandems and recumbents fit easily. If you're worried about your pristine paint job then bring a wrapping sheet or blanket or similar but we've asking the firm to bring lots of cardboard etc.
We work the coach on a cost-covering not-for-profit basis, transparent books. Any surplus gets split between the London School of Cycling and Southwark Cyclists to help pay for the glow-lights and the food. If a loss develops, I'm in trouble. No refunds though, that would make organising all impossible.
The vans load from 11am and leaves Dunwich Beach at 1pm, getting to West Smithfield, London EC1 (Smithfield Market) about 2 hours later, here.
And sorry, no, we can't add in extra stops.
(Note….that 11am loading start was new for 2006 to ensure a 1pm departure. We left on time).
Some of us then find a pub. Optional extra.
Coach tickets are £14 if paid for on or before 31 May. And £23 afterwards and on the day. (Early booking then costs the same as last year. Late booking has gone up £2 in line with the rail fares and costs more to encourage early booking and easier estimating of numbers. It's difficult to get more capacity at the last minute).
Early booking is advised…seat numbers are of course limited. We try to ensure there's room for all who turn up, but cannot of course promise that.
(Note: some ask that the coaches leave much earlier. The convoy is for those who want to swim, eat, snooze, relax, savour the moment, not rush. Hence the leisurely timetable).
And last year about 6 people left jackets, cameras, bungey cords on the coaches. All were reunited later but it's avoidable hastle. We and the drivers check the coaches before they head home but please look after your stuff.

How do I book a coach place?
