- which makes Flying Dodo's battery powered version attractive - assuming he decides to organise it again.
What does this mean in English? I assume it's an Audax?
Not an Audax.
Flying Dodo, aka Adam OTP (and of Cycle Chat) has organised alternative Dun Runs on at least a couple of occasions.
I attended the first, bailed before starting the second, and have linked to the first up-thread.
I think the number of attendees have always been in, or close to, single figures.
Which is nice.
It's a nice little bike ride, to do on a Friday night, leaving at midnight. That way, there's no traffic through Epping Forest, and without the massed hordes on the Dun Run, you can enjoy the sights, sounds and smells. Plus you roll up at the beach and don't have to queue for an hour to get food. And even better, you can get a train back.
Same as Jurek, I've no intention of doing the proper ride again, as it's just not enjoyable.
Once I semi-retire next year, I may well have time to run this again. The only problem is the Tesco in Sudbury we used as the half way stop isn't 24 hours anymore. The nearby McDonalds opens at 5 am, so that could just about work.
