andygatesOkay bike folks, it's time for me to do my annual gee-up and advertising post for the Dunwich Dynamo. A ride through the night to the coast - sounds lovely, right? Lots of riders, very informal, plenty of sillybikes and very serious bikes and all sorts of speeds and vibes.
The ride heads out from sunny Hackney (near the Lido) and soon wends into Epping Forest before snaking blinky lights along the country lanes. There's a formal midway stop, and lots of informal stops, then dawn in the Suffolk villages all pink and timbers and cock-crowing, before hacking over the heath to the sea, the tea, and well-deserved rest.
If you're up for a first century ride, it's a memorable one. The actual distance is around 200km - 120 miles - ish. It's still tough: it's a hundred miles and you have to stay awake, after all. But it's a good kind of tough, doable rather than silly tough. Grins and aches are matched.
