John took me to his local cafe.....it was our last coffee together :0(
I followed him out of town and onto the M23 - i was heading into London. I followed John in his Fiesta....he could not face riding the bike.....'i have done enough travelling on a bike' were his words.
It was a sad goodbye.
Into London.....what an evil ride that was, although it was safer than cycling in Portugal!!! I rode over Tower Bridge and made it into Canary Wharf where i met up with an old friend.
Up the M11 to find the M25 was closed. The next few hours were spent travelling across the UK looking for the M40 and Banbury - where i was going to stay with a friend for the night. Clocked up my 25000th mile....outside a McDonalds...how apt!!!
The English road system was starting to get me down!!! There is just too many roads - bring back Russia where we followed one road for about 2 weeks!!!
Adam took the bike out for a spin.....apparently it was still good for popping wheelies!!
A drunken night at the local pub - my first pint of Greene King IPA....that was a nice moment!!!
