Well, what can I say. Sitting in my work van tucking into breakfast, when, at least 20 guys in lycra and some lovely road bikes shot past. Sun is shining, I'm overweight, and I'm on a rest night tonight. Oh and my mtb just doesn't have the same appeal anymore. Think I'm going to sulk now.

I know the feeling.

I regularly see gangs of obviously retired gentlemen, cycling around the country lanes of Ponteland/Stamfordham, while I'm stuck in the car at work, wishing my life away to retirement.

What was breakfast. Yoghurt and museli? 'tucking into' implies a bacon sandwich to me.




(I'd go for the bacon sandwich. I'm overweight too. I like bacon)

I'll be 60 later this year and a lot of my cycling friends have taken early retirement, unfortunately I can't I have to keep working. Often when I'm on holiday and haven't gone away I'll do a mid week ride with them, afterwards I often can't help thinking lucky buggers!

Hi master, I wish, was a banana a a yogurt. Oh bacon I miss you so much.

I can but admire your self control. I've just had very crispy bacon in a roll, with HP sauce of course. Just wouldn't be right without HP.

Sounds like you need a therapeutic look around your nearest bike shop, or even a trip to aldi to scavenge whats left , you can always tell your significant other that the £xxxx you just put on the credit card /overdraft for a new bike is justified what with all the money your saving on petrol etc etc .........
