I much prefer stopping in the countyside to industrial estates.
This is mainly because if you look carefully in the hedgerows you can find cows nests. I found one today and stole an egg, the one in the picture above.
Why don't you try some foraging and tell me how you get on.
Lunchtime is in a lorry park on the M1 today.
I did pull in a little way down the road but I was downwind from a sewage works a my cereal just wouldn't have tasted the same.
Here's Oakey.
He's my new two wheeled friend. We have great fun going to and from work and I'm sure we'll have just as much fun on other adventures too.
Here's to many miles of slow bicycle movements together.
It's not often I wash my dirty linen in public but today is one of those days.
For months I've been getting away with cleaning my clothes at my friends house but now I'm working in Leicester that isn't possible. For months I've also been avoiding buying a new washing machine but I'll have to get one of those soon too.
I blew this months budget on Oakey but I don't mind doing that. For now I'll just have to put up with everyone looking at my socks through a huge glass window as they go home to the comfort of a nice house with onboard washing machine.
B#*tards.
After 24 hours of testing all is well.
That is, after a ride to and from work I'm ready to introduce my new riding buddy.
A round of applause for (drum roll)...
"Oakey"
You can see him in all his British Racing Green glory tomorrow.
