They will all be there on their go-faster flimsy racing bikes... And Greta and my sensible thighs will be powering along behind, pondering the Survivors Buffet provided for those that make it back in time

www.justgiving.com/page/carolin... Just one week to go for the 35km BCF Ride Warwickshire charity bike ride. I have done one training session and my shorts don't fit -but life is too short for poor excuses. Any donations for the Myton Hospice would be gratefully appreciated.

I made these shells in a mould for the 4 of us, and filled them with mini egg type things.

Here is the tern GSD, with trailer, at a bike parking space. There's a knackered to it, but it's not tricky.

With new rules (PPWR) household waste now has new codes telling you about sustainability & recycling. It's also on cat food packs. Plus the UK is getting "Exchange for Change" too, like our EU Continental neighbours. Part of my job that pays for the cat's snacks & I am a 'Corby Womble' #Hedgewatch

The Beaver unit collected 42 tubs to be recycled with #Tub2pub. Cycled them over the opposite side of town. Weather rubbish. Infrastructure rubbish. Bought new socks from town centre though. #Cycling #CarryShitOlympics #15MinCities

This is covered in the book Invisible Women, in Finland, I believe. Well worth a read, (but does make me a bit ranty.)

We holiday in the Netherlands, largely because we all enjoy the cycling around, to the beach, shops, other towns, and many pancake houses!

This is my route to work past the school. The front of Morrison's is icy and skiddy in front of the trees, and the bit from the crossing to BT on Dunedin the same. The T junction on Great Folds room to Medlicott is lethal. It did have a grit bin and then it disappeared.

I say the box needs to go before Christmas. Kora disagrees. Do I upset the cat, or do I wrap it in Christmas paper (so that she then ignores box!) #HedgewatchXmas
