The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

Morning all

Ooer! There's a strange light in the sky and there's blue bits between the clouds. What is this weird phenomenon?
Is it safe to go out?
Hope so, as we're booked for lunch at the Railway Inn.

No occurrence here of the bright thing in the sky.
I thought it might make an appearance first thing, but I was wrong.

We might get a glimpse here later. More next week, but also quite a bit colder. I don’t mind that. Better than the gloomy days we have been having.

Same here, tomorrow looks like being brighter, with a bit of a breeze. A good day to get the washing done and dry.

And here. Brighter but colder as well.

Did you mean "no drop" policy?
I would not like to ride with a group like that either.

Oops Typo yes

My club has a no drop policy. Some groups implement it, others don't. Generally the faster the group the more likely it is one gets dropped. The group I was with yesterday slowed for the final 5-6 miles to help the guy who was struggling. One rider dropped back to chat with him.

There's nothing more miserable than being dropped when you're already nackered.

I stopped getting the comic 20 years ago, most of its readership nowadays wouldn’t know it as the comic.

I can’t remember when I last bought Cycling Weekly.If memory isn’t failing me .Wasn’t it at one time called Cycling and Mopeds?
I have a subscription to Readly £9 a month No longer have to stand in WH Smith’s flicking through magazines I am interested in.

Good day. The sky may clear. 🤞 To my surprise my body isn't screaming at me. I'll get on with my exercise routine shortly. Then it will be allotment time to finish clearing out the shed. We will be demolishing this shed next Saturday.

Gary the Cat, as he is known to most. He's a young tortoise shell who lives in our village. He can be found everywhere. He loves to play and be with people. When I take #1 small person to the woods Gary will turn up and stalk her. She chases Gary, he chases her. When she's on the trampoline Gary gets on and joins the bouncing!!!

Last night he turned up at the club for the bonfire. As usual he was everywhere. Anyway. He followed some people home and went into their house. They didn't know him. Next there's a Facebook post. "We've found this cat. Does anyone recognise him?

To which virtually the entire village replied "Oh, that's Gary the Cat....." followed by stories of his adventures.

Gary thinks he's a person.

Gary sounds like a real character

The CTC group I rode with never dropped any one.If it was a new member and they felt he or she was holding the group up we would suggest if it was summer they joined the Wednesday evening rides.which were shorter and local for instance Barow on soar We hired rowing boats or some other local attraction.Or winter they stick with us as most of the rides were around forty milesI it allowed them build up there fitness.We wanted new members to enjoy cycling not turn them away.

It were either aliens arriving/departing or a chink of light as the computer case was being opened.

Bonjour.
I fully intended to go for a ride this morning but lacked the motivation. Fortunately, the weather came to my rescue as it is drizzling now and I won't ride in the rain. So it is a good excuse for not feeling guilty about it now.

Housework done.

 

[welsh dragon]

Housework done and I have ordered Mr WD C present.
