I hate to be serious, but this is what we found with Freewheeling, which shows that there is a huuuge and ready market for inclusive social rides at sensible* paces.

* I went on our local club's Monday Social ride the other week. Social in this case meant a quick pint and free chips half way round. The ride had me holding on at the back for dear life covering 24 miles at 16mph average! I could barely breathe let alone talk....

Were there no ladies out on the Locks Monday social? I've only done one and it was the same, just the usual Wednesday crowd of the blokes and the pace was a Wednesday brisk pace rather than the billed more sedate pace.

Do you do the assembly instructions for Ikea furniture by any chance?

That might at least be interesting. A policy document for intermediaries is not.

The Countdown has begun, it would seem.

I will start receiving a small pension at the end of October. I do not need to renew my Prescription Prepayment card, and I will get free eye tests. Not sure if I qualify for a Bus Pass yet.

What about watching Countdown?

Er no thank you. I like Eggheads, as that challenges the grey cells. Sometimes you can work out the answers if you have some info to go on. That is about the only quiz I watch, and occasionnally "Only Connect" or "Loony Varsity Challunge".

 

[Speicher]

That should be saved for when you are either a student.... or dementia is kicking in.

Do you watch it regularly then?

Been somewhere?

Been down in Bournemouth at the Air Festival sat on the beach in the hot sun. Didn't sit on the beach yesterday though as it was wet and windy. I did manage to chat to some of the military peeps that were showing off their equipment. I did like the Challenger tank.
Up on top of the cliff there was a band playing and some classic cars, we had a wander round up there and listened to some music.
The organisers decided to cancel the flying event due to the bad weather but they continued to show the Royal Marine beach/ pirate simulated attack.
We watched the assault and then returned to our hotel soaking wet.

My short afternoon ride ended up going further than planned, I got home having ridden 48 miles, if I'd realized I was that close to 50 miles I'd have gone round the block.

You could go back out again and complete the half century.

Not a right lot then.

Yep, go round the block - else it'll bug you.

I squeezed out a nice little 16 miler this afternoon. Now I'm about to sort out supper before sitting down to watch the footy.

I'm going out to buy some soap. I can't decide whether to buy the non scented or lemon scented one.

Soap?

I don't know if your allowed to have ropes in here? They might think you'd do something drastic if you got your hands on one.

I have a cupboard full of that pain relief gel. How about a swap?
