The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Good morning all. Weather fine and warm despite dire warnings from the BBC!

First ride today since January 28th and my illness. Four guys rode over to my house picked me up and delivered me back again 18 miles later. That's what a proper cycling club is all about.

No records broken but great to be riding. Felt strong and could have gone further, probably 40.

Try another colour, Aurora Pink maybe and see if you do any better.

Oh yes, I can just hear all the comments if I play with nice pink ones
I actually had a good game today and was nicely set to win with a 5 foot put at the last hole......but I cocked up and 3 putted

Easy "do the miles" when you're not pedalling.

Glad you managed to get out though. Proves, to the hardest to convince(yourself), that you can do it.

You'd know they were yours though. And if they improved your game whilst still being legal...

Decking delivered. Shopping deliverd. Rain stopped play in the garden. So a walk up to the town to pick up my euros for next weeks adventure. Stopped for a beer on the way back
The garden is getting there.

What a differance an hour makes. It goes from hazy sun and really warm to dark, and hazy and raining quite hard.

Rang the changes today. Took the dog for a walk over the nature reserve at Daisy Hill this morning and in Castle Dene Woods this afternoon where the bluebells and ransomes are making a show. We were getting stuck in a rut, using the same routes over Waldridge Fell day after day. The dog seemed much livlier in different surroundings so maybe she was getting bored of the same old routes too.

Also got around to cutting the lawn and fettling the brakes on my Ridley. Shopping done, hand delivered a job application for our daughter, checked in on the oldies, bought some propane for the van, potted on some tomatoes.......... It's amazing what you can get done if you're not out on the bike all day.

Built a new raised bed this afternoon. I was running out of space and had some sleepers given to me by a friend who had given up on his allotment. Going to put this one down to brassicas.

Also installed two more rain butts. Brings my water storage capacity to 800 litres!!

Very true re confidence. Cycling is as much in the head as the legs.

Morning all.

Up early as Mrs. jg is teaching people how to do her old job today and has to go into the toon.

Nice sunny, cool morning but rain forecast later so after walking the mutt I'll get out for a ride. Will try to get back before the deluge starts.

Meeting an old pal later so he can return all the cycling tools he's borrowed over the years. He's restioring an 80's Colnago but taking an age over it.

Have a good day everyone.
