Ride to the Sun - a northern / Scottish Dunwich Dynamo!
Folks
My pal and I rode Carlisle to Cramond (Edinburgh) overnight last summer, inspired by reading accounts of the Dunwich Dynamo.
We've decided to do it again, on the weekend closest to the summer solstice, and have set up a webpage (www.ridetothesun.co.uk) and Facebook page (Ride to the Sun - Scotland) to throw it open to others that might want to join us.
Saturday 20th June, 100 miles exactly, one 7 mile climb up from Moffat to the Devil's Beef Tub. The chippy in Moffat is staying open late to feed people, and the cafe at Cramond harbour will open early when folk get there.
Its a lovely route on good roads.
We've been blown away by the response, and we have over 300 entrants currently!!
Anyone interested?
Cheers
Fraser

It's this Saturday, and although we know some folk will drop out, we have had over 500 people sign up. Not too late to enter.
Anyone fancy?
