The Retirement Thread

[IaninSheffield]

It's not a new bike then, unless you are trading in!

No, nothing more exciting than a tiny bottle of chain lube; local LBS don't do them that small unfortunately. Still, it's an excuse to get a few miles under the belt.

Good morning. It is dark so I have no idea what the weather is like, but at least I can't hear any rain so that's good.

Now that it is a bit lighter outside, I can see that it is quite misty.

Morning all.
Having a lie in, then hitching up the van in a couple of hours and making our way home back up the coast.
That's our caravanning over for this year. 110 nights.
We most likely won't be going away in January or February next year, but we're planning a couple of month long trips in the summer, along with our regular 1 - 2 week forays throughout the rest of the year.

I have risen!

Enjoyed a rare lay in and a cuddle with the voluptuous Mrs D.

It's daylight and a beautiful morning. I have watched the sun come up, red sky and felt a little envious of my cycling buddies out on their bikes.

I have though banked many points.

Now that it is a bit lighter outside, I can see that it is quite misty.

Not alcohol fog?

Perhaps because you won't need walking when it's chucking it down?

On the plus side, I am well house trained.

Not alcohol fog?

Unfortunately not. I know. Must try harder.

Morning all. Very mixed weather here. A nice red sky earlier but very grey now.
On the plus side I am feeling better but this bl**dy cough is hanging on. After each coughing fit it leaves me weak and sweating.
I have a ride provisionally booked for Sunday and my mind is switching between a) "yes, go for it" to b) "don't be stupid, wait another week". At this moment b) is favourite.
I have motd recorded from last night so will watch that shortly.

I quite often get long lasting coughs this time of year. My GP s advice was that as long as it hasn't developed into something more serious cycling won't do you any harm at all. I'd wrap up and get out.
Then eat healthily (or as possible as you can this time of year) and get some quality sleep. Lidl do a passable expectorant cough mix.

Well good day to one and all. No idea about the weather as it's dark and I've yet to stick my head outside.

There's a ride setting off at 8.00 which I'd like to do but feel the kids at home takes priority. Sunday looking hopeful though.

I was absolutely nackered last night. Bed at 9.50 and slept till 5.00. A short nap soon I think.

Walking this afternoon seems like a plan as fresh air and exercise is required.

Why just the head, and will it be through the window again?

Morning all, been out with the dog in the damp misty air. I'm meeting up with a few ex colleagues and then this evening going to the panto, Goldilocks and the 3 bears, at the London Palladium. MrsP booked the tickets, she likes panto.
