England : Suffolk Dunwich Dynamo 2013

[rb58]

I'm 90% sure I'm doing it. But it'll be a last minute thing and almost entirely dependent on the weather. This'll be my 4th time and I'll be riding back as usual. I'm putting the rack and bag on the bike and will be taking my own food etc. as the queues are always too long otherwise.

Watch out for someone on a nondescript geared bike riding with a bunch of people on fixies who are many years his younger - he'll be wearing CycleChat shorts. It will be me.

I will most likely be on The Enigma, and sporting my SMRbtC cap.

Hi guys - I and a bunch of other guys are cycling to London from Norwich (yay!/eek!!). Does anyone know if there is a supply tent/feed station at the London Start. My plan is to only being supplies for the Norwich-London ride and stock up again for the way back.

No there is not, however there is a pub and quite a few shops etc in the area. I am cycling down from Ipswich and my plan is a 2 pub stop on the way down for food / water and then use my supplies for the DD

I'm trying to plan my ride so I only have to take on water between London and Dunwich, which I'm hoping to be able to do at a couple of as yet unidentified places!

Here you go:
The Helmingham Bacon Roll stop is back again this year... Look for the signs at around 83 miles (or try to avoid the bikes and bodies if you're coming through a little later). Have a great ride!

Huzzah!

Huzzah!

And you really cannot miss it..... In addition last year there was another on the way into Needham Market, one at Framlingham and a few others dotted around. Of course there is always the food stop at Sible Hedingham but I tend to give that a miss because of the queues.

Perfect - that's good to know.

thanks!

I need to cycle on to Southwold after completing the DD this year, I seem to remember that there is a footbridge across the River Blythe in to Southwold - is that right? I will be too early for the ferry so want to plan the quickest way from Dunwich to Southwold without using the A12, all local knowledge gratefully received :-)

I have a ticket for a coach back to London for £30 if anyone wants it, I'm now getting the train back,

Yes, follow the river inland for a little way.

Lovely! thanks Compo.

I'm in this year too. I'll pop on some cycle chat shorts so you know I'm off here. Stop me and say hello if you see me. Cheers.
