The Retirement Thread

I have the solution to that problem. In winter I only cycle on dry, mild and preferably sunny days. Other than that I suffer the exercise bike.

Nothing like getting out on the cheapie winter bike when its the middle of winter. You feel better for it even if it means bike cleaning afterwards

Must admit my best bikes get ridden in bad weather, as did my best bike when I raced.

What if there was the local bloomer thief living in the block.
He would think he was in heaven

Why a "he"?

Though he would need a small pickup truck for them.

That would certainly stop them from being stolen.

Shopping done. Health check bang on target. A good opportunity to discuss my mental health which now I'm back on the bike is fine. The nurse agreed it's important I ride.

The nurse also found time to guide me on the difficulties I'm facing in trying to support a much loved friend. All round a good visit.

It's now raining so when Mrs P wakes from her nap the hoover is going in to overdrive.

Well I think it should be mandatory. You have no local pub so what could be more relaxing than to sit in your garden with a cool beer while discussing all your neighbour's undies.
All in favour of this say yeah!

People round here think I'm crazy as I like to ride 150-180 miles a week. I don't need them thinking I fantasise over their knickers.
