So.... I was reading a book called 'Obsessive Compulsive Cycling Disorder' by a very funny cyclist called Dave Barter. And I came to a chapter called... "The Dunwich Dynamo".

This is a ride (NOT a race) through the night from London to Dunwich (120 miles). It is a turn up and go, no entry fee or anything ride. And all fitnesses and bikes are used, from Penny Farthings, Unicycles, Tandems to Racers! Supposedly the atmosphere is absolutely electric. I've never ridden more than 30 miles in a day before. But I'm up for it, I think the atmosphere will help.

So anyone else fancy it? Riding from central London through the night wit THOUSANDS of cyclists of all fitnesses and cross the Finnish line on the beach?

    That sounds really cool. I wonder if we have anything like that in the US.

    I can only just manage 8 miles in a day. Sounds a bit far for me.
