The Retirement Thread

[ebikeerwidnes]

Planes falling out of the skies, computers not working, enormous amounts of data lost...

In reality not a lot happened.

You're welcome

started working on that about 1995
still missed one little thingy - although to be fair that was a DOS/BIOS thing and NOT MY FAULT
and it only had an effect in March

still annoys me

Get the candles ready.

25 year delay over y"k????

Some nice fireworks through in Comrie earlier. They also have a parade of decorated floats followed by the flambeaux which is a group with big burning torches going through the village.

Happy New Year to everyone


especially the people in St Michael's in Ditton who must have spent a fortune on fireworks for several minutes at midnight
a few miles away and I have no idea who you are but very impressive!!

anyway - every one on this thread - have good 2025!!

Retirement seems like er fun, reading those "I'm off to bed", way before midnight posts!

Just completed first ride for 2025. 44km with a long stop at the coffee shop. 17C at start 26C now sunny with clear sky.

Great start to 2025. Trying a little run and tripped and fell quite heavily after a mile and a half.

I now have a sore and bruised shoulder and elbow and 4 cut and bruised fingers. I should really stick to the roads as it was just after I turned onto the trail. Just caught my toe on something. I don’t seem to lift my feet as much as I should.

Morning all, wishing you all the best for 2025 and beyond. I am still in Liverpool enjoying an extended break, I may go home Sunday for few days, there again I may not. Enjoy your day.

Hope you pull up ok in the next few days Mo
