The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Clear blue skies, probably a bit chilly but who cares. Some wind to help dry the soil surface would be good.

Hilly training group tonight. I have to get the summer bike ready as I suffered the indignity of getting dropped on Tuesday training. Fiddled with my gloves and Garmin while stopped at roadworks traffic lights. The group set off so quickly from the back I couldn’t get on. Had to wait for the third, slower group and then got stuck on the front for 20+ miles!!!

In other news I’ve run out of room in the woodshed which means a lot of restacking to try and make space.

@Drago you mentioned elsewhere you’re pleased with your LG sound bar. Would you mind posting the model number? I’m looking for one and have an LG TV,

Wouldn't be too hard on yourself. Wasn't that the day you had already done 50+ miles in the pouring rain?

Supermarket with Mrs A this morning, we have three of the Grandchildren to look after later but Mrs A can sing Wheels On The Bus to them, while I turn wheels on the bike, its looking too good a day to miss after lots of turbo of late.

G'day.

You watching the commonwealth games Drago?

Good morning from a cold but sunny Coventry, I feel a bike ride coming on.

Thanks but sadly no!! I did once do 50 miles of hills in the morning and then turn up for training. Now that was a BIG mistake.

I can’t remember the last time I got totally dropped even though I regularly ride with people 20+ years younger. Sticking in the front six is the trick. Not sure how long I’ll keep this up, don’t get the impression I’m a great rider just very determined.

I'm afraid I don't know the model number, although the remote says AKB73598401. Its a couple of years old now, bit has been a most excellent performer. Here is it with my 50" Toshiba.

I have a Sony soundbar. It is about 3 years old now. Cost about £70 I think. Quite a good sound.

 

[PaulSB]

@welsh dragon. Yep Sony is on my list.

Right time to get up!!
