The Retirement Thread

Does a Triathlon count as 3 exercises?

I've got a shed full of that might be usefuls. What happens is you use all the stuff that's useful and are left with the stuff that you'll never use, but you don't want to throw it all away.

In my case I’m beginning to think in my case it’s an age thing.

I see that car owners have just been given a free pass where an MOT is due in the near future.

It's great. My 6 month M.O.T. has just become a years ticket.

Just back from my Boris Biking.
21 miles and 1300ft of climbing.
That was hard work after a 6 months layoff!
I'll be so fit when this virus thingy ends!

I will be cycling. I took a photo of my pond yesterday. It would be a nice place to read a book

I have pond envy, this is beautiful.

I have been a rebel too. Just a quick 17 miles on the bike. I feel it’s plenty to maintain fitness without abusing the chance to get out.

Done my exercise ride. 30 miles, 2300 feet. Lots of people riding. It's a glorious day, if I could ride with my buddies we would probably do a century. 😞

A new piece of cycling etiquette I'd like to suggest. Out for my daily exercise ride - the first in lockdown - the first walker I saw jumped as far from the roadside as possible!!! 😀 Really.

So if I see walkers and it's safe I now move to the crown of the road and on narrow lanes to the right. Obviously a good line of vision is needed.

I got lots of smiles, waves and thank yous. It can only help make people love cyclists.

Found out this morning that the local cafe is still open and doing home deliveries, we've had tasty pork and stuffing baguettes for lunch.

All domestics have been done, the new part of the veg. patch has been turned over. Bike riding done, and vegetables bought from our local grocer who has everything you want. Only two people at a time though in the shop, fair enough. Some steak mince from the butcher next door, and beers bought from the Tesco's local on the same parade of shops. Result.

My LBS has also closed, which is also on the same parade of shops

Now sitting in the garden, in the sun drinking a beer.

You are welcome to the beer but if you wouldn’t mind sharing the sun please. Still overcast here.

I'll have a word, see what I can do.🌞

Yesterday was 12 C although a bit breezy at18 mph. Today it isn't. Mostly gone by noon, though. And this mini-velo will be my clown bike du jour.
