The Retirement Thread

Good morning folks. .

Normal rain for you I take it?

 

[172traindriver]

Why you taking your golf clubs on holiday?

They deserve a holiday also

 

[172traindriver]

Not quite

Had it hidden in the freezer

Were you thinking of going to Larry Ramsdens for that fish supper?

Is Larry, Harry's brother?

I got back about half two with 72 miles on, my first visit to the Lickey Hills since 2017 and I'd forgotten how lumpy it is round there, I remember doing this route a few years ago on my fixed and thinking my legs are going to come apart at the knee's as I spun up to Warp 9 riding down Fiery Hill Rd. A hard mornings cycling with plenty of climbing and most of the way out crawling into a head wind. Dry on the way out but I was riding through showers on the way back.

The rain never happened thank God. Lovely here now

Well you can't just turn up at any old fish & chip place, can you.

I realise I had a sleep last night but what, pray tell, is the relevance of fish and chips to jobs on my 'to do' list ?

In between shopping, jobs and worrying over Classic & Harry Ramsden (or should that be Larry?) I managed to get a ride in. None of your feeble @dave r rides I did a full 10 .
Are we ever going to get a wind free one in this year? I wore shorts but 2 base layers and was glad of them. In the sun, when the wind dropped it must have been 15° but in the shade against the wind it must have dropped 5°.

Well done, I know, that wind was a sod on the way out, weren't much better on the way back either. I've only been in shorts once this year, this morning I was back in summer tights.

I debated tights (I have those Ron Hill running tights) but was comfy in shorts.

I use the Altura summer cruisers, and also have the winter cruisers.

On holiday in Italy at the moment. Hired a bike for a ride a short part of the way around Lake Garda. A ladies hybrid complete with shopping basket as it was the only one left at the hotel. Italians are pretty careful around cyclists but I think I'll stick to the road bike in future.

Stop being so optimistic.
