My cycling challenge last year was to defeat Ditchling Beacon ..... this year it is the Dunwich Dynamo .... a 120 cycle ride through the night from east London to the disappearing hamlet of Dunwich on the Suffolk coast ....
Feel a splashing round your ankles and you know that in your stupor you've ridden too far ....
So this year I have been training hard .....
Earlier this year my older sister who at 55 years old is a novice cyclist, commenced her training for the London to Paris bike ride, and realising how long you have to sit in the saddle to cover long distances, asked me .... what do you think about when riding ? ...... in a heart beat the answer was easy ..... not falling off I truthfully declared ......
But as I pass through Suffolk village to Suffolk village building up the training miles my eye is often caught by a sign by the road .....

First I saw this one ........ and my immediate thought ....
If it really is an Elvis tribute then it must surely be an all you can eat buffet ......
As for this one ..... what a truely wonderful name ....
....... if I was a woman and having issues with my lady garden then for sure....... if I was going to visit a osteopath, without doubt it would be Ned Wombwell..... who wouldn't want a well womb .....
Riding towards Lavenham, out the corner of my eye I saw a road sign .... weak bridge ... it declared .......
As I pedaled along .... I wondered ..... when they say weak bridge .... does that mean if I went up to it and went ........ Boo ! ...... would it suddenly start crying .....
And finally I have often wondered what a pillory post looks like .......
now I know .....
Interestingly one thing I have never seen on my bike rides
is a sweaty woman in a arran knit jumper
could the Dunwich Dynamo be a first ?
