Dunwich Dynamo 30th June 2012 Roll call

[rb58]

I've got a good route back Martin. It comes with torrential rain and strong headwinds. Or at least it did last year.....

You did well to get back to Kent in that head wind last year, I only had 30 miles and I was cream crackered by the time I got home.

Oh yes, remember it well- I allowed three hours to make my train from Ipswich, pretty much needed them all!

Not doing this year- apart from the FNRttC going to Southend (3 1/2 hours by train home, so not ideal for rest, refuelling, and then getting back to Hackney ), I'm out on the Sunday night. So I'll aim to do Southend and ride back into the smoke.

I like headwinds me!!!

Looks like you will have plenty of playmates now Tony. I doubt I will get away with riding this year what with all the long Audax rides I have been doing and the first couple of days of LonJog coming up mid June. But never say never I may get a pass

rb58 how did you get on with the 400 on Saturday?

 

[iZaP]

I'll be doing it. Riding back too.

I'm riding it this year too and want to ride back too!! Might as well repeat last years feat?

I was a DNS I'm afraid. My wife was taken ill on the Friday, so I couldn't really leave her on her own all day Saturday and overnight too. I shall do it as a DIY after LonJog....

Highlight from last year was when we were sheltering from the storm in the bus shelter in Chelmsford when Tim appeared through the torrents to re-join us. It was almost biblical!!

And a handy bus shelter for a snooze.
I can't make it this year. I am cycling to Paris for my friends 50th

 

[mattobrien]

Shall we have a BTTT to see if there are any more takers?

Although I'm not doing it I'm helping my daughter who is intending to run a food and rest stop at Gosbeck Village Hall. She is doing this to raise funds for her Guides trip to Peru in July to work with orphans and disabled adults. Gosbeck is about 30 miles from the finish and we'll be doing hot drinks and basic snacks such as cereal bars and probably home made cakes. I'll also take my repair stands and tools down so anyone who needs a bike fix can have some assistance.

More info closer to the day when we've finalised arrangements. I suspect the cakes will go early!

My mouth is watering already. Good luck to your daughter's ambitions for her guides.

I'm up for this. I'll be riding my stately old tourer with a bunch of friends who are ten years younger than me. My travelling companions will be riding fixies, which I guess might make the ride easier on me. Or not.

 

[martint235]

I'm now starting to suffer from "Icantbebothereditis". I'm definitely doing Southend and back on the 29th/30th. Whether or not I get back on my bike later on the 30th remains to be seen.

 

[Sittingduck]

I can't be arsed to ride back and slogging across to Diss to catch a slow train back to London isn't very appealing either. Also, it's the Euro final on the Sunday... just imagine if England got to the final and I fell asleep on the sofa and missed the game! With this in mind, I'm unlikely to do the Dun Run, this year...

 

[Auntie Helen]

Last year I packed at Bildeston and rode home (too sleepy). This year I might ride from home to Bildeston and then finish the DunRun a year later!
