Dunwich Dynamo XX

It was that time of year again - the time when I meet up with a couple of thousand of my closest friends at a pub in That London and head off to a café for breakfast, just 110 miles or so up the road. Yes that’s right: Last Saturday was the Dunwich Dynamo! In case...

Remember The Penny Farthing At Last Year’s Dynamo?

This was how Charlotte Barnes (a.k.a. Bicycleslut ) arrived in style on the beach at exactly 12 noon, after 15 hours in the saddle last year: Well things could get a whole lot less stylish, and a whole lot sillier than that: . . . if this makes an appearance at this year’s ride, I’ll eat...
