The Retirement Thread

Which one are you?

Changed my mind - going for a walk instead.
Anyone got any serious suggestions as to how to stop cats using raised beds for litter trays?

Electric fence, use tape not wire. After a while you should be able to turn the fence off, but leave the tape in place.

It is our 33rd wedding anniversary tomorrow and , as we can't go out for a meal, I will go to M&S in the morning and get a Meal deal and flowers.

Congratulations to you both.

I am back from the metropolis. There seemed to be more staff going round filling online orders than actual customers.

Quite a few things were out of stock as well.

The thread for posting touring photos is going to give me a needed kick to sort out the stuff stored on two external hard drives. I have lots of pictures of tours from Galloway to Shetland which are all mixed in with motorhome trips but no proper filing system. I just sort through them until I find what I like and shift it to the iPad as the MacBook system is even more weird than my files can cope with. They were originally put on the hard drives using a PC which now lies on a table unused. This will take some time to sort as many are in files with no proper description.

Sometimes I wonder if it would be better without a pad to be honest.

My sore ar*e problems are well documented. I simply could not ride without decent padded shorts.

Spending more doesn’t always help either. I have a cheap pair of Crane tights that are comfier than my Castelli.

Still cloudy and cool here.

Just realised my Cube is coming up for 4,000 miles and haven’t changed the chain so sent away for a new one.

Don't forget the cassette as well

I agree. I tried 2 makes before switching to Endura Pro which made a big difference.

After only 4000 miles??
Me know nothing but isn't that extreme?

About 50 years ago I had one of these in a lovely chestnut brown. It was a strange pleasure in lovingly polishing it. I don't remember having problems at the time, but I was a teenager then, and probably not much more than half the weight I am now.

I might well make another one an early upgrade.

I've always been told, when you get a new chain, you might as well get a new cassette while you're at it!
