The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

No rain here at all. Not a drop. But then this is Lancashire where the sun always shines 🤔 Horwich, down the road in Greater Manchester, rain, hail, thunder, lightning, flooding.

Great ride today with a bunch of people I haven't seen in ages. Excellent. Very surprised by the pace as we averaged 17.2 on the ride, I had 16.6 by the time I got home.

Strava says I've ridden 327 miles in the past 8 days. I'm not surprised, I'm gobsmacked!!

Pah... I've done 569! Oh, that's a km total. Ok, I've done (calculates...) 354 miles!

Oh, in the past 8 days - My total is for the whole of 2021 so far...

Well done!

I'm just trying to lull you into a false sense of security. I'll 'ave you in the second half of the year!

His mileage will have been flatter though

<SNIP> and will have my three eggs cooked in sharp cheddar <SNIP> with Marmite in a while. <SNIP/>

I generally cook eggs in a pan, and marmite (this week) sometimes it's nearly

He does do a lot of hilly stuff, and I have been doing fewer hilly rides than usual...

Morning. Another slightly gloomy and overcast start with the chance of showers and more proper rain by afternoon. Suppose I should head out early again and avoid the worst. I try and avoid wet roads with the better bikes so might just take the hybrid again.

Morning all

A nice 5 mile walk around Lyn Crafnant and Lyn Geirionydd for me today with my walking partner Lola, just the one shower to contend with...

A nice looking dog.
I am not a doggie person but he is nice. Is he as pleasant as he appears ??

No doubt it was all down hill with the wind behind

G'day cobbers.
Up at Mo0'clock again.
I got up at 0500, thought "this is stupid" so got back in bed......it lasted 10 minutes.....no chance of sleep again. So here I am.
The plan was for an early morning walk but the weather says differently.
Plenty of 'bitty' jobs that need doing though.

Good morning all fellow retirees.
It has finally stopped raining, for a while anyway.
The back garden is under water and more rains forecast for this afternoon.

After all the normal duties, I am heading on down to my son's place to help him out digging up an old concrete base and level the ground to make a base for a new shed.

Stay safe everyone

Lola is a lovely dog she’s just 14 months old. The only problem is that after a good daily walk (I’m finding some fantastic routes)I can’t be bothered with a cycle ride....

No thanks needed.......no really.

Freedom!!!! (sort of).

I always sleep well in the caravan. Had an early night last night and slept straight through. Woken up by the sun shining through the Heki.
Taking doggie for a walk over Dunkery Beacon this morning, then meeting up with our best mates from Minehead for lunch in the Lion.
