Dunwich 2007

So, on Saturday night, once again I set off to ride from Hackney to Dunwich overnight (116mi). I rode this last year & enjoyed it enough that I bought the lovely lovely Cheviot & started riding audaxes :-) This time I was with uon & the ACF (cycling forum) lot, rather than on my own, which was nice.

Summary of first 65 mi (to village hall): wet, somewhat unpleasant. Summary of remaining 55(odd)mi: increasingly dry, becoming actively enjoyable. And then a SWIM in the SEA! So I am pleased I didn't bail at the hall as I was briefly considering doing.

( Ride report )

And chapeau to doop on his first Imperial century & (by the time you include the there & back bits), first 200k! Particularly impressive for someone who 9 months ago couldn't ride a bike :-)
