Jason Alcock had plotted a route to Flora Tea Rooms at Dunwich for this year’s Dawn Raid, but unfortunately couldn’t make it himself on the day.
Two groups left club HQ shortly after 6.30am on Sunday 27 July – a week later than originally planned owing to the poor weather forecast for the original date. The second group had a couple of punctures to deal with, so arrived at the cafe once group one had finished their coffee. We did however meet up with Steven and Rita Rue who had ridden over independently.
The group two coffee break was probably a little too long, as about 10 minutes after leaving we were soaked in a rain storm but eventually dried out by the time we got to Stradbroke.
Chapeau to Lesley for towing the remains of group two back into Bury from Thurston, despite not having ridden over 100 miles for quite some time!
Thanks Jason for the route, and we hope to see you in person for the ride next year.
