I am going to try and ignore Mrs Postman's lack of tidyness,

I am going to try and ignore Mrs Postman's lack of tidyness,

It will leave more time for cycling. A win-win situation.

 

[vernon]

I'm going to dust down my Northumbrian and Uilleann pipes and start playing them again.

Yes I know, but the amount of people that don`t have the decency to flick their indicators on!! You must see where I`m coming from here

And it`s always BMW`s / Audi`s that are the worst culprits.................sorry if I have offended anybody

Indicator use is a joke nowadays plus my last bit of appalling driving and cut up in 2015 was at Bow was by a 4x4 Panzer BMW.Lucky I was aware or I'd have collided with it.

 

[Dave7]

Couldn't have put it better myself. That is exactly my ambition and thoughts. Here's hoping.

Not a good start
I got everything ready for my new years day 20 miler........just putting air in the tyre and my back went GRRRRHHH

 

[Dave7]

Enjoy retirement and the attendant increased opportunities for mischief.

I retired 5 years ago and am really enjoying it.........I hope you do as well

 

[Dave7]

Eat more pies and drink more sauvignon.

Pies and sauvignon??..........don't you mean pies and beer ??

 

[Dave7]

Usual...
1) lose weight
2) try to avoid orthopaedic surgery (well after the shoulder is fixed in March anyhow)
3) have no booze for a bit (I should manage January and February, fall off wagon for holiday first two weeks in March, then back on wagon)
4) sort my career out I suppose (right now I'm unemployed as of 27 Feb)
5) cycle as much as I can, given the shoulder op will see me off roads for 3+ months
6) settle personal injury claim from Feb 2014 (hopefully)

I usually fail on 1 & 2...

I did think about the 3rd one but its maybe too big a step to take.......I am cutting down by 60% so I can still have a drink on match days and golf days.....most important

 

[Dave7]

1 stop eating so much junk food
2 get out on bike more
3 finally remember anniversary
4 convince er indoors i need more bikes
5 retake level 2 maths and english exams and actually pass this time
6 convince er indoors i need even more bikes
7 do my first 100 miler (already have route etc planned)

What is your likely 100 mile route ?
I think I have mine sorted but am worried it may be too hilly...........I will see how my training goes.
Good luck with yours.

I did 6 months no booze in 2015, so two months should be straightforward. I know I'll want a few beers on holiday so I'm not going to pretend otherwise!

Become a serious cyclist instead of a moron.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Good luck with yours.

Its a route from Rhyl, North Wales to Walsall through Chester. 85 miles of the route is away from the roads, 10 miles being a shared use path and 75 miles being canal towpath. Mostly flat, a few small inclines but not many and not steep at all.

2016 is my 50th year. My resolution is to absolutely nail it.

Mine too.

I plan to be emaciated by the time my birthday eventually rolls around, in order to enjoy a piece of cake.

I failed on the first day! It is to leave the house on time. Must try harder..
