He seems ok and will be out tomorrow, problem is he's riddled with arthritis so will struggle on crutches. I went Costco 1st and got him some dark Belgium chocolate thins with coconut and almond!

I bought a walker off Amazon very cheap. I only used it for the first few days and went to a cane skipping the crutches. But a knee is easier than s hip I think.

Yes hilly, but with recovery bits after for us fatties.
A long‘ish undulating climb at 6-8% would kill me for sure.

A few 100m in double digits soon creates breaks and no drafts.....
I'll increase lengths of stages for next month. I won't make Thursday as going for a beer with my boss after handing my notice in on Friday

Yeah - still a bit off the pace. I also have an overshifting front mech so i chose the wee chainring in advance to minimise shifts thinking it was all uphill until the obvious downhill bit. That was a mistake and meant I span out a bit on the early downhills. I need to get it on the stand and fiddle with the limit screws - just being lazy.

Longer flatter rides like spring classics then the Pyrenees climbs to add some spice. No way I gaining back enough to catch anyone on this month's exciting finishing stage. Nice work folks, everyone looking really good so far.

We have a good group with enough differences to make a rival or so. I'll try to make sure next month has a bit for all.....

New job or just fed up with old?

The tools will be retired and I will become office based.... I'm already anticipated the weight gain.

I was just going to ask the same thing. Over here a tech with your skills can name their own price. I have a brother in law who does DDC controls and just changed jobs with at least 5 different offers in a week after he started looking.

Okay, he can move to Alaska then.
Kind of remind when the dude down at the unemployment office in 2014 told me that there were a lot of good jobs in Sweden. Of course with an almost new house, Mrs. in a fulltime job and 2 children in primary school, I was very eager to move to a new country to work, after being unemployed for about 1 month. Or maybe not!

Its like your job change. A better job and it sounds like a whole new software suite you now have under your belt. Its nice you were able to get time off soon after starting.

The tools wouldn't retire so I did.
