The Retirement Thread

Inflation stuck at 3.4%

I like inflation to spike sharply in September, and plummet the rest of the year, as the September figure is what my pensions are based upon.

A bit of chaos at the top of my road . This lorry seems to of got wedged underneath the railway bridge. The good news being that the load was still in gauge.

I prefer March for the same reason.

Will you be taking your bikes?

Back from ride. 46 miles 3500ft climbing.
Was overcast most of the way after early morning sun but warm. On the bright side I've cured the horrendous creaking I've had last couple rides. It was the rear quick release.
Had a feathered friend at lunch stop.

Holy schmoley. I liked her. Do we know any more, ie, illness, accident etc?

It's almost a year since Cycleops left us

Illness, but I don't know what it was.

Oh, that's sad to hear. I always enjoyed her posts and was disappointed when she disappeared. As I rarely visit NCA&P I didn't know she was still around.

 

[Drago]

I never visit NCAP. I encounter plenty of people every day that deserve me being rude to them without going looking for it there.

Good afternoon. Today has been about reclaiming my sanity after two very full on childminding days. 51 gentle miles in glorious sunshine. Only 3:37 ride time but out for 5:27 which really is very easy.

I was trying to explain endurance riding and stamina to a friend. She had recently ridden +/- 80 miles with a cafe stop and another longish break of 30-40 minutes. My point this was really three +/-25 mile rides fell on deaf ears.

Anyhow. Just watched the end of Jack Draper's match. Tough game, very tough. Time to prepare tea - fish pie for us tonight with a crushed new potato, bread crumb and cheese topping. Yummy!!
