2011-07-16/17 Sat/Sun - Dunwich Dynamo DD19

Ask nelaii?

She a poorly girl.

I just facebook messaged you. I would LOVE to dog sit provided you can drop him off at mine?

so this is this weekend.

have a great time guys.

I'm ill.

bbc shows no rain for 12 hours between 7 this evening and 7 tomorrow morning.

perfect window for you.

I'm not nervous - but that's because I've done DD plenty of times before. i still have to change my forks (Vitus plasticine forks dead), assemble kit and food, check over bike, find some mudguard bolts and reassure myself about the weather. So far today in Deptford it's scuba-diving weather - but I'm not nervous.

Noobs, it's just a long, long ride, not much harder than L2B, because it's flatter overall. Don't worry about doing it alone - you'll never feel alone.

Both my mates have bailed, but so long as it doesn't look as if it's going to bucket down, I'll think of Barry, and do it. I didn't get a good night's sleep, I haven't found my rain jacket, nor my camera, haven't carbo-loaded, bought flapjacks, bananas or chocolate, or charged my lights, and it doesn't look like I'm going to have time to doze this afternoon.

I need help (in general), but in particular, today, please someone, PM me:

• Jaitch' number, and the agreed location of the forum van at kick-off.

• Missmouse' number or any other Southwark person sorting the SC transport, as I'm taking over my friend's ticket.

• The location of the legendary 'other café' that isn't on the beach at Dunwich. I can't take the fry-ups that the Flora dishes out.

• Where's the meeting point for the Southside feeder ride?

• I don't understand the accuweather chart - does anyone have the latest weather prognosis?

mmmm... tailwind...

If it's dry-ish, I'll be rolling. Say 'hi' when you overtake. I've got fluorescent bar tape on a gorgeous bonded Vitus with black tubes in blocky alloy lugs, with ill-matching red forks.

You need the hourly breakdown I think, and if it's correct we will be fine...

I'll probably be doing the southwark feeder ride from the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. I'll be in my usual yellow and black lycra.

I'm out, but jealous ... have fun everyone.

I'm ill.

Really fed up that I'm not joining you tonight, have a great (but not as good as if I'd been the there) adventure, I love you guys!

Digger, pop round to see us off!

To any Carradice owners. Do they double up as a semi-effective rear mudguard? I've got the lowsaddle longflap.

Still not prepped anything... You guys are way too ready.

if it's sc's pm me with your full name and i will try and sell in on at London Fields tonight.

Semi-effective, I'd say yes - particularly if you aren't running a huge seatpost.

I don't have mudguards or overshoes :/ should be fine once weather clears up right?

It'll be dry all night, you'll be hunky dory!
