Dunwich Dynamo (Sat 16th - SUn 17th July)

[Tynan]

I haven't bought one to make me ride back, I won;t be able to afford the ticket on the day, genius

That left me in a bit of a hole last year as I bust the front wheel and the wheel generously loaned to me en route was quite reasonably reclaimed in the car park leaving me with a bike just pushable

I cadged a lift one of the trucks in return for some hopeless route planning down some of the narrowest roads in London, that driver was a maestro

If all goes according to plan I'll have an £11.00 tix & bike rezzie to sell on the day.
The catch is you'll need to cycle a further 26 miles to Diss to use it.
Dunwich to Diss map included in the sale.

EDIT: Durrr..... just re-read your post - not interested in a tix, are you?

 

[Tynan]

absolutely not, no, not

26 miles to Diss is 3 miles closer than Ipswich init?

Can I have the map and the number nearer the time?

Just in case I feel tired at Dunwich and your bargain is still unclaimed, if I take the option now I'll never even try

For anyone here who knew Barry Mason and hasn't heard the news yet - I'm sorry to tell you, but he died tragically last Thursday, swimming in the sea in northern Spain while on a cycling holiday with his partner Cheryl.

Southwark Cyclists will announce arrangements for the funeral and for a memorial ride as soon as these have been finalised. Details will go up on our website, Facebook group and via our Yahoo mailing list.

Dun Run going ahead, as Barry would have wanted. Obviously it won't be the same without him and this year will feel especially strange and sad. But no doubt a joyous celebration of Barry's life, too. Rest assured, everything's been organised for route sheets, coaches and bike lorries as usual. So please please do come along. Coach & bike tickets available by Paypal as usual. (Sorry but the 'early bird' discount ended 31st May, so it's now £27/person.)

There are likely to be a fair few of us sporting brightly coloured short sleeve shirts in Barry's honour.

Now the Norwich 100 is done and dusted it's FSA for the DD

I found a route on a forum, HERE, is this the route everyone takes?

I plan to recce the part of the route that'll be done in the dark, hopefully recording it with MyTracks on my phone.

Also, anyone tried parking around London Fields to get dropped off? The missus is kindly dropping me off

 

[User10571]

Route looks about right.

Parking up near London Fields is a bit of a hit & miss affair - It is pretty much all controlled parking.

Thanks User10571, we'll just have to play it by ear on the day

Do you ever get the feeling that people don't read all the posts in a thread?

R.I.P. Barry Mason.

 

[leyton condor]

I spoke to Barry briefy on the DD a couple of yars ago. What a genuine guy.

R.I.P. Barry

 

[StuAff]

RIP Barry. Clearly a much-loved guy who'll be missed.

oldish chap with a big beard on a recumbent? gave me and my co-rider a cheerful 'hello pilgrims' somewhere in Suffolk last year as we ate peanuts at the side of the road

arse, he looked in good nick then, anyone that organised that year after year was clearly a good sort
