Good morning all ... I'm still alive. Usual routine, then hospital appt, a quick nip into the bike shop to book the free service; and now I have returned. I'm ready to read some sillyness; anyone? Do I have to read the news for that these days?

Oops, edited for snarly up wordings.

I'll maybe not bother then! :laugh: Even reading the synopsis, I wasn't sure I fancied it.

I went out and had a spin. Actually felt quite good once I got going. Nearly 32 miles with a bit of hills at an average of 15mph. Not done that for a while. My body is all over the place these days. I am liable to go out again tomorrow or the next day and struggle to get much over 12mph. Lol. Not that it actually matters I suppose.

Blimey @Mo1959 , superwoman has nothing on you! :laugh: At my age, 32 miles is not a spin but a good ride and 15 mph average is only a dream too. Keep up the good work. :okay:

Bonjour les internautes. :okay: Been up ages, thanks to Molly and need to go to Post Office,B&Q to get some money back on something not needed, Aldi, see if Halfords is open, and finally give my wife's car a drink as it shows only 45 miles left in the tank. Then, a bit of work to do at home to keep my wife happy ( DIY).
Have a good day everyone.

Morning all , the sun is shining, I am on my second coffee and mrs exlaser2 has suggested we got out for a ride and coffee stop. So all is well with the world . Well until we get to about half way round the ride and she starts pulling the legs off me ....... again. Lol .It’s at time like these that I regret buying her a surprise birthday present of a very good hybrid bike, five years ago. In those five years , she has gained two more road bikes , lost four stone and joined a women’s cycling club. Oh and for the record she has always been a better sailor than me too 😂😂😂😀

Stuck at home here, bored and depressed. Retirement will happen at the end of July so I've got another five weeks of this. Amazing how 32 years of career has just fizzled out, exactly as I thought it would.

I've been out this morning, I've been over to Wellesbourne, and back, rode 53 miles. Weather pretty much the same as on Saturday, stiff breeze, cloudy with sunny intervals, though its been a tad warmer today, the breeze plus it getting decidedly lumpy between Charlotte House and Norton Lindsey dragged my average down to 13.8mph. I also had a puncture, it seems that this year is my year for punctures, normally I get one or two a year, this year I've had 4 already, I suspect a snakebite this time, I was riding out of Bueausale and had just rode past a house that was being worked on and hit some debris I hadn't spotted. That's another hard slow ride chalked up, I'll be glad when we loose the breeze.

Wishing you good luck for your retirement in 5 weeks, hopefully the worst of the lockdown restrictions will be over by then and you’ll be free to make the most of your freedom.
