Still here guys. Thanks for the concerns.

Welcome back Nigel. Great to 'see' you here

Thanks again, I guess I will get to know the new members over time, but , I don't have the time to go through all the posts but I will try and catch up a little.
You will all be wishing happy 50th next.
I have also been learning a little about 3d animation this being one I did for the O.H.'s birthday yesterday. she's been away nearly 4 weeks.

Nice birthday greeting Nigel, nice to see you around again. I have been lazy the past few months and am just getting back into a little more riding. The weather is driving me crazier than normal, going to be 70 today then cool back down to highs in the 40s in a few days. All this constant changing normally includes wind and precipitation during the change but I am going to start rolling again now. It is tougher on us old people (50 and over ). I was hoping I wouldn't have to break out the winter riding gear but it doesn't look like I am going to be able to avoid it.

Nice work on the 12k mark and happy birthday to your wife.

@Nigelnaturist Not sure I should even talk to you after deserting us all this time Welcome back. Nice birthday animation.....you are a whizz with computer stuff.

Along with Rocky I haven't been doing much in the way of mileage at this time of the year. Blowing an absolute hoolie out there this morning so no way I would cycle in that anyway.

Its not been bad here, most of the winter so far really compared with what I have seen, there have been bad days, having said that having just updated the garmin wind data for the 6 days I have been out this month the avg wind speed has been 16.4mph, but not the strongest at 22mph I have been out in that was 26mph in Dec, (this data only goes back to March last year, I will try and update the rest), they are avg wind speeds, gusts were much higher.

Drizzle, windy... don't think i'll get out! But 67.4 miles in this week i feel is a good effort!

Beats my 10 miles , I havent done 60 miles in a week all year.

If the 220- your age is a guide to your max H.R. it should follow that 220-your max h.r. would indicate an approximate age I have recorded 178 b.p.m. at least twice so I should be 42, or maybe it reflects how bad the winds have been, I must say as well it didn't feel much like what max I could achieve.
Either that or I have become very unfit.

@RWright ha-ha re 50, only just got there today, see previous post.
@Mo1959, I wasn't well for a long time, so buried myself in learning something new, sort of keeps the mind focused and a little lost.

If I'm reading that right, happy, happy, happy birthday Nigel. 50 aint so bad (neither is 51!)

Glad to see you back, sorry you've been ill again, but well done on the self-improvement (learning something new).
Take care

Had a slight issue yesterday with some shorts I haven't worn for a while (my 'best' ones were drying on the line) and I've created a very sore butt cheek where the seam has worn away the skin in a line about 4" long!
Not great preparation for the No Excuses ride next weekend, so I hope the Sudocrem works its magic soon.
Bet you all wish you hadn't logged on again now I've created the vision of my sore backside - sorry folks!

Stay safe, it's windy again here today so Domestic Goddess duties fill my 'to do' list!

@Phoenix Lincs cheers, its one of the most difficult programmes I have ever learnt.
Here is something I did using it, I created the ship and the planet, the background from a picture I took of Venus in 2012.

H.L. is me but its a little complex to explain.

And this from getting the topographical data from google earth, is correct for the Edale area, though the lake isn't.

The model in this isn't mine, I did create the sun.

Sudocrem works really well.
