2014-07-12 Dunwich Dynamo XXII

1 year

Enough time for a meal, drink and stretch. 2 hours ish

Did someone say fry up?

I'm not riding there on my nice bike and subjecting it to the transport provided. No option for me other than ride back!

Or tricyclic antidepressants. Done.

Did someone say world's most expensive and least satisfying fry up?

.

It is with a heavy heart that I am going to have to pull out of doing the Dunwich Dynamo... My in-tray runneth over and I just won't be ready this year. But hey there is always next year. So number 4 is going spare.

Sorry to hear this Tim.

Your distinctive presence will be missed.

Yeah. If I ride it at all (and I probably will) I will ride back.

I'm afraid I am a miserable fucker though - the last two years I have waited for no more than 20mins at the beach. Psychologically I like to rattle off a chunk of the return leg ASAP. When the tiredness kicks in it just seems so much easier to have a manageable 70/80 miles left - rather than dragging yourself off the beach with your eyes half closed knowing that you still have more than a century left.

Stating the obvious I know, but I'd also suggest a list should be taken with a pinch of salt - the attrition rate is likely to be very high (90% two years ago?) - although I picked up two unexpected stragglers last year. Basically I think you need to be prepared to ride it alone - and if anyone ultimately tags along it's a bonus!

If I’m back from LEJOG in time I will be up for this. Or if I haven’t left yet... :P

I'm afraid I am a miserable fucker though - the last two years I have waited for no more than 20mins at the beach. Psychologically I like to rattle off a chunk of the return leg ASAP.

I cease up if I don't keep moving so enough time for a break of sea air and scrambled eggs if enough for me. BIg guy, need fuel etc.

Stating the obvious I know, but I'd also suggest a list should be taken with a pinch of salt

No, definitely going to do it this year, just so long as we stick to just 2 pints (ok, maximum 3) before we start the return leg.

Greetings folks,

It is with a heavy heart that I am going to have to pull out of doing the Dunwich Dynamo... My in-tray runneth over and I just won't be ready this year. But hey there is always next year. So number 4 is going spare.

Have a great ride people. it is pure magic !!!

I'll try and make it to some of the forum rides this summer.

Allez Allez Team LFGSS !

Peace and love always,
Tim

Sad to hear this sir

You will be missed!

Not that i might be able to make it...

I'm looking into the idea of eating a curry in Dulwich before setting off to make it Dulwich to Dunwich for me.

We've normally done more than that by the time we leave Essex on the way out.

Curry is because...? Or just because curry?

Curry is because...? Or just because curry?

Rice seems a good idea... mostly just curry tho. I order kinda often from some village tandoori place on just eat and it's good so hopefully they have a sit down part. 25% off is awesome too mega cheaps.

Very nice. I could go for a curry today, actually.

I don't like it, but I think it's an interesting design idea.

an interesting design idea.

To give people crippling migraines, wherever it's seen?

I'm glad the DD takes place at night :-/

I was thinking of 'interesting' along the lines of 'interesting' in 'may you live in interesting times'. :)

That's actually really nice.

Not so nice if you have a hangover or suffer from epilepsy
