The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Just got back from shopping at Atlantic Village at Bideford.
Bought a couple of pairs of Chinos and some new casual shoes, ready for the summer.

Hope they still fit when summer arrives in 5 years time!

Well, my wedding suit still fitted after 40 years - so I'm not expecting a problem.

Managed 25 miles today before the rain started.
1,729 ft elevation gain,who said essex was all flat?

Geeez it's muggy here. Got back from the ride soaked in sweat. 60 miles, 16.9 avg. Not bad going.

The cafe has moved. No one told me it moved two years ago. And they wonder why I get confused...........

I've just got back, a little 51 mile bimble for me, had a problem with a slow puncture in the back and found out my pumps packed up again , many thanks to the two lad who stopped to help and got enough air in the tyre to get me home. On a lighter note, I turned off the Banbury road to ride into Long Ichington past the duck pond and had to stop for a Goose and her Goslings who were crossing the road. Not a bad morning out but I must get a new pump.

I bought a hot Chilli plant from ALDI this morning. It's got over 40 flowers coming on it and only cost £2.99.

We bought one last year and it was very productive.

I know the people who grow these. Looks great value, I feel a trip to Aldi coming.

I did a 51 yesterday
But I did the route backwards
So it was actually 15

More than I can say for my birthday suit, which is looking distinctly baggy in some areas!

I've still got my wedding suit, the trousers still fit, but the jacket doesn't, I've got a lot broader in the shoulders since my wedding and can't get the jacket over them.

I'm having the same problem with mine as well, its a shame we only get one.

I've changed the tube this afternoon, I haven't found the cause though, its difficult to get enough pressure in the tube to show up something that might only be leaking at high pressure.

They do a good job. Whereabouts are they grown?
