Hi,
being a Dunwich Dynamoist (?) of long standing (including the inaugural ride in 1993) on both solos and a racing tricycle, I now ride the route I prefer (a mix of older and newer routes) and now do it in two halves (Saturday morning 3.30-7 am so most of the ride is dark). I do exactly half the distance to Castle Hedingham where I live with my family – I chose Castle Hedingham as a result of early Dun Runs – spend the day with them and then rejoin the ride at midnight. It’s a lot better than hanging around all day in London – where I live during the week. It still all adds up to 117 miles. The incidental advantage of the Saturday early am start is no traffic or boorish locals to ignore
Looking forward to July 4th and 5th 2009!
