The Retirement Thread

[Binky]

30-40 was my 'go to' mileage on my normal routes.
IMO a decent mileage any day, well done the Mighty Mo.

Yep, 30 miles is a usual ride for me. This year I've done a lot more in the 50-60 mile range as the weather been so good and dry roads etc.

I ride purely for fun and fitness, I'm not specifically training for anything so a 30 mile spin is perfectly adequate a lot of the time. I do enjoy longer rides with a cafe stop, just depends on conditions.

Morning again. Not long back from a spin. I managed 37 miles which is the most I’ve done in months. I think most of the cycling fitness I used to have has gone and it felt a bit of a struggle. Good to get something done before the heat builds up though.

After reading that I got quite a sweat on
Well done Mo

I have been banned from riding for a while because of the heat

I mean - I tiny stroke (of the wrong kind) and she things she has to look after me

Women!!


I have some shopping to do anyway
It is serious - I'm almost out of tea bags!

I did too, even going out early. Can’t imagine going out once it heats up any more.

Speaking of Mo and her decadent lifestyle, ( swanning around on her bicycle, eating sophisticated breakfasts etc ) I've just got back from a 5k run around Pocket Park. There were a couple walking back from their allotmend which borders the park. She was carrying two large tubs filled with freshly picked raspberries, and he had a very big potato and a handfull of shallots. They said that it's a very good year for soft fruit.

It's now up to 24 deg here and very very muggy.

28 degrees here and we have another funeral this afternoon. One of Mrs G's friend, so I will have to wear my suit again. .

OMG! how frequent/long were your "comfort stops" 😂

Just returning to this. I only drank 1.6l of water yesterday. I was dehydrated this, both felt this and the early morning pee was bright yellow........it should be clear to pale straw in colour.

I'm up to 2.25l so far today.

I love when the local berries come into the supermarket. There’s a grower over in Dunning where I came from originally.

Awoke early, nice morning, cool, pulse 57, back working okay, working at the bike shop today and it’s nice enough to ride to work. Looking at a “new” bike today… a 1939 CCM double bar roadster.

I’m starting to like this retirement stuff

Chilling out now, hunkered down before the hottest part of the day arrives.

@Mo1959 put me to shame this morning with her ride, so I went out for my first ride of the year just 9 miles, more of a skake down ride to see if every thing was OK, the battery was fine, but the computer wasn't working, I re-alined the contacts, but still no joy, so sorted it out when I got back home and put some spray on the chain as it looked a bit dry, so all ready for my next trip out.

According to my qeather5ap, we could have rain within the next few hours, thank god.

Mauve steak today

The blackberry bushes are loaded with flowers, just need the 🐝 🐝 to do their stuff and then some rain to swell the berries.

I am jealous of you.
I would like some queather5ap and some Mauve steak.
Sadly I can't afford them
