Good morning people, our son is paying us a visit later, before that I've shopping to do.

I am now the age the Beatles sang about, certainly not going out celebrating. Have a good day everyone and stay safe and keep smiling.

I've forgotten the song......what was it again, when I'm 64???? Whatever it is, have a very happy birthday. 🎂

Good day people, it is a glorious cloud free sunny morning. It's 4C

Happy Birthday @screenman 🎂

Big decision. Bib shorts or longs? Heading out at 8.15 to meet the guys who are still riding. The summer bike is coming with me. She doesn't know but I'm sure will be very happy.

Washed down kitchen walls and sanded woodwork for painting yesterday. Ceiling washing this afternoon and first gloss coat. The result of washing the walls is deeply embarrassing!!

I woke at 2.40, downstairs for tea at 3.20, back to bed at 4.30 and managed fitful sleep till 6.30

Grim.

Similar here, awake at 3am , MrsP made some tea at 4, back to sleep around 5 and then awake again at 6.30.

Would definitely be bib longs here! It might just about be warm enough by midday to go out. I shall see.

Definitely longs, I think its going to be a while before the shorts make an appearance, having said that I did see a couple of people in shorts while I was out yesterday.

Good morning fellow retirees.
Cycled into town yesterday ( once the rain had stopped)
Visited the Lush shop to pick up a couple of things for Mrs Tenkay who has a birthday on Monday 🎂

The shop assistants complemented me on the fact that my bike and jacket were colour coordinated (I also change my socks to match whichever bike in riding)

Yep. Been outside. Decision made. Bib longs but one less upper layer. Will still be winter boots as well.

My 15 year old Dolan which I'm currently having to use as a winter bike matches my club colours of black and green. Pure coincidence as I bought the bike some years before joining the club.

I'm rather vain about bikes and kit. I like black, grey or very dark blue frames possibly with subtle highlights. I always wear black bibs and club kit. Daft but it makes me feel good which helps me ride better.

Time to go.

Nine?

Morning all
Yay ..... it's Fish Friday!
MrsD is cycling down for Yoga this morning whilst I take doggie for a walk. We will then walk down to the village at lunchtime.

Its people like you that eat all our fish and chips mate .

Morning all. What a beautiful day. Blue sky, sunshine, not a cloud to be seen.
I have a 20 mile ride planned for 1100ish (let things warm up a bit). I dont own bib longs so will wear normal shorts plus running leggings. Up top will be long sleeve base, short sleeve thermal and Endura winter jacket. I will also wear a skull cap. I may get a tad warm but better than getting cold.
House insurance to sort out. I left it late and it runs out tonight. Naughty boy.
Have a good day.
Happy birthday @screenman

Happy birthday. All the best people are born in March and in the year 1956. 🎂

........so I was correct about the song then? I thought that's what it was.
