The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Mrs Tenkay has just jumped on her Roberts shopping bike to head to the Gym. She thinks they may close soon so wants to get a Cross training class in. Then She's off to Argos to pick up some weights in case the Gym closes.

Me? I'm ahead of the game. I've asked her to pick up a couple of packs of "Grecian 2000" . That way if us over 70's are confined to barracks then I'll easily be able to pass as a youngster, and who knows, I've seen the adverts, I may well find myself suddenly attractive to the fairer sex

I've shared that on my local Facebook page. It could do with cheering up!

Gyms closed here now.

Pinnacle cleaned and lubed. Another month and its getting a new cassette and chain. Yet again the Aksiums needed significant retentioning - the rear was still straight and true, but half the spokes had gone all Mr Floppy again so it wouldn't be long before it was bent like a politician. I might bite the bullet this year and invest in a set of DT Swiss wheels for the Pinnacle - I bought some for the Felt last year and I'm extremely impressed.

I have just given the exercise bike some stick. Although I do far less, time wise, its hard work because its constant......no free wheeling.
Moving on to weights and situps now.

You need to start riding fixed so you can get the same effect on the road.

I was thinking of having a go at wheel building using DT Swiss rims, seeing as I might have a bit of spare time stuck indoors. Never done it before so a new thing to learn.

Just back from the Co-op. Glad to see they have 2 of each item restrictions. It was busy but not crazy and I got what I was needing. Everyone still very relaxed and chatting to each other in close proximity so obviously not too worried so far.

Lifes hard enough as it is Dave.
