Ok, so my birthday is a long way away, but i'd thought i'd put this out there to see if there was any interest.
dangermonkey has brought this to my attention.
The Dunwich Dynamo is a 200km night ride from London to the lost city of Dunwich on the Suffolk Coast.
The 2007 one is on the weekend of my 29th Birthday, 28th-29th July. The route is candle-lit :)
Would ANYONE out there be interested in doing this with me for my birthday? You'd have til July to plan/worry/buy a bike/fix your old bike etc.

But I think YOU should do it as you will have a wicked time and it's YOUR birthday and you should do WHATEVER you want.

they do say several times that you don't have to be super fit. This is a Good Thing.

Date: 2007-01-31 12:05 pm (UTC)However there are like trail rides and stuff which are good fun. Alternatively we can just meet up somewhere and go for a ride or something.

Date: 2007-01-31 12:49 pm (UTC)Diarised for later contemplation but I suspect that as an excuse to cycle I'll be there.
Thanks for the heads up.
