At the Philly Bike Expo, Bryan showed me his use of a fender eyelet bolt and L-bracket to mount his dynamo rear light. I employed a similar mount on my touring bike. Now the light is super secure and out of the way from bags.
Plenty of illuminated cyclists and some passing through the village of Leaden Roding (pronounced 'Roading') in the County of Essex at dusk during the 26th annual 'Dunwich Dynamo' (DD XXVI) overnight cycle ride from London Fields to the seaside town of Dunwich in Suffolk (UK) on July 28th/29th 2018.
Around 2000 plus riders tackle the 120 mile or so overnight ride out of London, into the country lanes of Essex and finishing 10 to 12 hours later (give or take) in the morning on the shingle beach at Dunwich.
This is a very demanding ride even for experienced cyclists. There are no winners or losers in the Dunwich Dynamo. The ride itself is completely unsupported and taking part is the only renumeration.
It was also a pleasure to bump into keen cyclist and fellow flickr contact Mr Steven Brandist here who was participating in his fourth 'Dun Run' ride.
Designed before health and safety was invented, the dynamo features exposed brushes and unguarded rotating parts. Oh, the risk assessement would take all day. Fortunately for the visiting public, this room is securely locked during operation.
The Dynamo is an aggressively angled starfighter, named for its ridiculous leaps forward in self-sustaining power. While it might not be the ideal ride for planet-hopping, she's certainly capable. That's what the twin snack pods are for.
This is the first model I've really felt proud of. The build has the perfect amount of structural stability to support its awkward shape. The landing gear is actually functional, with the back legs twisting up to become part of the rear greebling. Oh, and the cockpit does seat a pilot, I just haven't given it one yet.
Looking through the windows of the former dynamo hall of the Faculty of Applied Physics and Electrical Engineering, dating from 1903, you can see the bridge crane that was used to transport the large-size dynamos to the test facility. Nowadays, the building houses a company for product development and design.
I love the industrial look of the building, with all its (metallic) details.

The Dunwich Dynamo is a turn-up-and-go challenging free-entry overnight 120 mile bicycle ride on-tarmac from London Fields in Hackney to the lonely Suffolk beach at Dunwich. It’s not a race. It’s unsupported. There’s no van following. It’s a long way.

Welcome to Dynamo Pond, home to the first hydroelectric power plant in the Eastern Sierra, which supplied power for the mining camp at Bodie, now California's most famous ghost town. Built in 1892, it was the first test of the theory that electricity could be transmitted over a distance – until then power was always generated on-site. The hydroelectric power was successfully carried across wires for 13 miles to Bodie proving the theory. They installed the power lines in a straight line, as at the time it was feared the electricity would not be able to turn corners!

I was really into "oldies" music radio when I first moved to Florida in my late-teens. I suppose this is fitting, with many mid-century buildings still standing, and many, rust-free classic cars on the roads in this part of the United States.

It’s lights out for Dynamo in L.A.
Quest for 3rd MLS Cup ends with extra-time collapse

CARSON, Calif. -- It took extra time, but David Beckham, Landon Donovan, Gregg Berhalter and the rest of the Los Angeles Galaxy finally put the lights out for good on the Dynamo in the Western Conference final.
The Galaxy, who began the season with Donovan and Beckham needing to repair their fractured relationship, beat the Dynamo 2-0 to win the Western Conference title Friday night and clinch a berth in the MLS Cup.
The Dynamo’s hopes began to fade shortly after referee Terry Vaughn called Ricardo Clark for a foul on Jovan Kirovski in the 103rd minute. Beckham took the free kick from about 38 yards and found Omar Gonzalez, who headed it toward the goal from inside the 6-yard box.
Eddie Robinson, who had replaced Brad Davis in the 96th minute, stepped in front of Gonzalez’s header and kicked it a few yards up. Fortunately for the Galaxy, Berhalter found the rebound and pushed it into the right side of the net from about 12 yards while falling back for the 1-0 lead.
"I was just ready to put my body on the line," Gonzalez said. "I just had to get my head on it. All year, I haven’t really gotten that many headers. Time was running down, and I just had to get my head on it. It just happened to come off a Dynamo player, and Gregg was right there to finish it off. Beckham put a great ball in there."
Clark’s problems continued in the 108th minute, when he was called for a penalty for tripping Alan Gordon inside the Dynamo’s 18-yard box. Donovan converted the penalty kick and ran toward the right side, where Beckham sprinted toward him as both stars began to run in an embrace.
"I thought the foul that led to the set piece in their goal was kind of soft based on the previous calls that he’d been making," Clark said. "I don’t think there were consistent with that at all. I think that cost us the game. I think it’s fair to call the penalty, but I don’t think the first call.”
The game before a crowd of 25,373 at the Home Depot Center was marred by 18-minute delays in the first and second halves, prompting several Dynamo players to say the power failures were "unprofessional."
With the contest scoreless after regulation, the game went into two 15-minute extra-time periods.
The Galaxy will next face the winner of today's Eastern Conference Final between the Chicago Fire and Real Salt Lake in the MLS Cup final Nov. 22 in Seattle.
The Dynamo, who won the MLS Cup in 2006 and 2007 in their first two seasons in Houston after arriving from San Jose, Calif., got off to a sluggish start as the Galaxy threatened over the first eight minutes of the match.
The Dynamo then began to control the pace until the teams and fans were stunned by the first delay. In the 18th minute, the flood lights went off to bring the action to a halt.
"I thought we were doing OK until the lights went out," Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear said. "The momentum kind of swung a little bit after that."
Five minutes into the second half, the lights went out again to force another stoppage.
"The loss in stadium lights during the match was due to two significant power dips in Southern California Edison Industrial grid in which the facility sits," read a statement from the Home Depot Center. "Any time the facility experiences a power dip on the network, emergency event lights are activated and the stadium lights immediately reset, which takes approximately 20 minutes to illuminate to full capacity for the event to resume."
In the 24th minute, Brian Mullan drew a yellow card for fouling Edson Buddle about 30 yards out to force a free kick that was taken by Beckham.
Dynamo goalkeeper Pat Onstad, 41, made a sensational save in the 25th minute when he dived and punched out a brilliant free kick that Beckham sent toward the right corner. As Stuart Holden sprinted down the left side in the 77th minute, Dema Kovalenko tripped him and drew a yellow card.
Brian Ching almost gave the Dynamo the lead in the 78th minute from 8 yards out when he masterfully headed Mullan's cross toward keeper Donovan Ricketts, who made a sensational leap to push the ball over the crossbar to force a corner kick.
In the ensuing corner kick, Andrew Hainault sent a scare through the Galaxy by heading a corner kick into the net, but Vaughn called a foul on Luis Angel Landin over A.J. DeLaGarza on the play, and the goal was disallowed.
"I’d like to see a replay of our goal," Kinnear said. "If you’re going to call a foul on that, you can pretty much call a foul on every set piece that’s been in Major League Soccer this year because there was a fair amount of contact."

Next time I do this I need a simpler background. Getting everyone to just at exactly the same time is impossible. Creating a composite with soccer net in the background isn't fun. I see a few minor mistakes too.
