The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Back from my run and pleased to advise that my OMM jacket performed flawlessly - the rain stopped a couple of minutes after I stepped outside the door! I've not run for a couple of weeks and so struggled a bit, but did about 4K.
We snagged a Eurosport annual subscription for £20 a few weeks back, but still like to watch the ITV4 highlights at 7:00pm. Looking forward to the Women's TDF next year 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️🚵‍♀️🚵‍♂️

Morning all.
Got up fully intending to go for a ride this morning, but then had an attack of apathy and haven't gone.
I suspect it's to do with the difficulties I've been having with the club rides.

Ah well, f1 and indy car to look forward to

That would be good......I would be around 7 or 7 and a half I would do a few things bloody different that's for sure!

That would make me 11.

I didn’t realise until I clicked down the schedules it was on ITV four Watched on euro sport and had to put up with Carlton Kirby ramblings

Sunday roast £7.50 at the Crown.

I like Carlton - his inane and sometimes confused ramblings make me laugh

Mine you - I can only cope for so long - given an option I go for the ITV4 bunch
partly because I can't cope with Sean Kelly as a commentator - great as a rider, great informative comments at times - but the rest of the time he drives me mad!!

Morning all (and @welsh dragon )

Cropped some taters and planted some beans yesterday, got to trim the lawns this morning - then I'll be on top of all my gardening jobs.
Sunday lunch booked at the Crown, West Down (haven't been there for about 18 months! )
Just realised - We've ate out at pubs every day for over 3 weeks now.
Doing my bit for the struggling hospitality sector, but at around £30 a day 'tis barely justifiable and MrsD is forgetting how to cook.

You could take over the cooking!

Just overtaken 10 or 12 idiot cyclists. Wobbling all over the place, badly spaced, big beards and Free Palestine T shirts.

As we overtook I leaned out the window and shouted "stop firing rockets at Jewish children!", which seemed to chivvy them up somewhat.

There are opposing arguments, but this is not the place for them.

 

[Drago]

I was doing nothing more than regaling you with the juicy details of something that had just happened to me. Clearly and obviously no attempt to start a political discourse, so im unsure why you felt the need to comment thus, particularly as the forum has a rule against backseat moderation.

Definitely.

Went out with the club's fastest group today. Got dropped on two climbs, despite PBs on both, but otherwise hung in there for a very respectable 18.7avg back to the meet point. 80 miles. Rather chuffed. All are at least 17 years younger.

I now have to cut the grass while my legs still work!

Were you wearing a Free Palestine T shirt by any chance...?

 

[Drago]

Well, great barbecue. 3 burgers, 2 kebabs, 3 pints of Guinness and counting.

Are you a Lewis or a Max supporter ? Verstappen that is , as opposed to Max Chilton who has not done much since moving to Indy car although he is going to do some oval races now I believe
