Hitchhiker

First thing I took the Alpine down to Felixstowe to see if a route would work for a run. Found lots of very small roads some of which might work. Some not.

Then took the Caterham into town to buy a new inner tube for the Alpine wheel. As I was sprinting down the road and as I turned out passed the Freston tower I noticed something on the bonnet.  I noticed the small hitchhiker - a bright green grasshopper that just had that just clambered out of the bonnet vent and was clinging on for dear life - like an insect version of a dog with its head out of the window enjoying the breeze.

 

I didn't have the heart just to let it blow off onto the road so I pulled over, stopped and dropped it off so it could hop into a nearby field. OK it's a blur, but its the best pic I could get.

Also they did not stock the tube so as compensation I came home the long way - in the heat and the 23 degree sun.

Later took the Aero on two trips for the cool.
