The Retirement Thread

Think I'm being dragged to the outlaws.

Spotted this near the Whitworth Gallery, Manchester on a newish segregated cycle lane inbound for the city centre. What a great idea for educating people about the value of proper cycling infrastructure. A bit tricky to see but 891 cyclists went by today towards the city centre

The one on the other side showed 182 journeys for today so possibly around 700 people still to commute out towards home.

The total number of cyclists who passed this year is 351,000 to date.

Saw something similar on Cheetam Hill Road a few years ago.

Just back from a bimble. It looked like it was going to rain so I cut it short to just 10 miles. Looks like the farmers have managed to get a 2nd cut of the grass.

And they have cut the hedges as well.

I've made a cake to take away with me tomorrow as I'm doggie/house sitting again, I think it is the last one this year

I wouldn't be able to get it on the back of my bike.

Tie the legs(front) together and then hang around your neck. Where's the problem?

Yeah. Sounds good.

 

[classic33]

Yeah. Sounds good.

It'll get it home!

 

[classic33]

Yeah. Sounds good.

Return at night, no lights, and no-one will know.

Walk along Deer's Leap, near Wookey Hole to exercise the doggie; then a light lunch of Faggots & Peas at the Hunters Lodge. Not a bad snack for a fiver.

Well I feel nackered. A quiet snooze would do but instead I'm off to watch Chorley v Stockport County.

 

[welsh dragon]

Lovely and sunny here now I am back

@Mo1959 . The tour of Britain starts today......Glasgow-Kircudbright (never heard of that). Does it go near you? Will you be watching it?

Nope, that's over to the west. I'm nearer the east coast.

Not long back a bimble. The sun is deceptive. It's not actually very warm.

Oh....I thought you were just above Glasgow.
And no, its not very warm. Tights and jacket for tomorrows ride I think.
