Dunwich Dynamo 2008

surely drinking before the ride is a bad idea?

Drinkin before is fine.. as long as you drink during and after as well..

There's a 24hr Garage on the way out, ride light until there and stock up from there. That will get you out to the feedstop, where you can either queue forever for fairly average food, or take your own. I'm taking a stove and reheating some pre-cooked food this year.
Breakfast at the end is pretty vile, but you'll eat anything by that stage!

Who's planning on riding back as well?

Get there earlier and you don't queue so long :)
I'd also rather pack my own stuff than rely on the range (and prices) of a CAR refilling establishment. Service stations are for emergency use only.

But perfect for girlfriends birthdays. Ferrero Roche and flowers. Sorted.

Can i simply suggest not relying on 'science food'.

the last thing you want to eat at 5am after a few too many jazz woodies and brandy nips is a bloody sis go bar.

The best advice i have received is shop when your starving.

you will buy the stuff your body craves when on a hunger low.

Its worked for me.

And make sure you have spare rizla in something waterproof ( hard to accpomplish last year!).

And RPM, you not giving away any of my beers.

You will eat curry and drink (at least one) beer in the park beforehand!
it's not a proper stag do unless you start off drunk, surely!

For the record, I have spent the last 6 months training on SIS drinks, Powerbars, Powergels.
I wouldn't recommend my diet for anyone :)

Your shits must be unreal.

Shit? What shit?

Man that stuff rots my guts, i wouldn't want to drafty anyone who's been overdoing it on energy shit.

pork pies, jelly beans jaffa cakes anything anyone else offers at 3am in a suffoilk lane.

thats what will be fueling the stag train!

I've spent years honing my ability to exist on nothing but sugar and alcohol while others went along eating things like "meat" and "vegetables" or "fruit". :)

I notice though that at 6am not many people refuse an offer of my Natural Confectionary Company snakes. ;)

Who is the actual stag? Are they going to wear a pink tutu for the duration of the ride?

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, snakes.

i am said stag, and for the love of god, i will not wear whatever it is MR smith has lined up!

hahaha you are gonna WISH it was a pink tutu!

i like pink, i just dont trust g.

This talk of food is like déjà vu all over again.

Makes me hungry. I'm off to buy cake from Mr S.

\There was always going to be something!

Makes me hungry. I'm off to buy cake from Mr S.

I feel a little sick now.. 1 One madras and rice and two cream slices for an afternoon snack. Is that healthy?

as long as it was boiled rice.

Pilau rice you say?

you're fucked son!

we're running like the old school tour riders, half pissed and eating whatever solid savoury snacks our domestiques can steal from the surrounding villages

You have domestiques?

Don't expect me to be operating no forge for you - you're on your own when it comes smithing

yeahbob.

we got it all.

the stag train makes caisse d'epargne look like a bunch of jessies out on a club run.

ahem..
