The Retirement Thread

[Dirk]

On a related but slightly different note, I heard that Ribble have sold over 1,000 bikes and can't send them out because they have no inner tubes. They are desperate, so if you have any spare they may bite your hand off

Too late - I sold a load last week.
They were 26" but I'm sure they would have stretched.

Take it easy pumping one up, outside the tyre, and you should be able to get it to around the ten foot mark.

They can go with a bit of a bang.

Lasagne for dinner, David Bowie on the Glasto prog. Some wine for Jules .
Now we're in bed with books listening to the cries of drunken teenagers from the woods and park behind the house ...
Ahhh .. All is well with the world .....

Night night everyone 😀

Just sold a load of worn bike tyres.
Was going to take them to the tip, but put them on FB and got £25 for them.

Why would anyone buy worn bike tyres? Unless they're going to send them abroad where maybe their bike tyre tread depth requirements are less strict than ours?

Down in Pattaya for about a week, Mrs Crank has a work assignment here, and as is often the case, I tag along. I brought my Raleigh Twenty, so hope to do a bit of cycling here each day. After this morning's ride, I treated myself to a full English breakfast at a place called Hippos. I was one of the slimmer hippos, even after the full Monty was consumed. Will slob about in the hotel now till I feel peckish again, such is the life I've become accustomed to

Morning. It's been very overnight. Not sure if it's off at the moment, but not for long. Do I really want even a short bimble in that.....hmmm, not sure I do today.

I have risen!

Very stil and dull here in Poshshire, almost as if it's the calm before the storm.

Morning all, a wet day and more lockdown telly in prospect. Enjoying the daily episodes of Downton. On the internet, the behind the scenes programmes on the Tour of Flanders have been outstanding, we’ve watched them all now but might have to watch them again, there’s so much to see on them.

Morning all fellow retirees,
All the usual things to do today. Starting with muttley, and I shall be out and about on the bike getting a few essentials from the local shops.

Good morning fellow retirees,

still a bit blowy but the rain is supposed to hold off for the day. I'm first on the turbo this morning, as my virtual JOGLE takes me past Carlisle.

After several weeks I've swapped the Brooks Cambium C17 from the turbo to the Brommie and put the Charge Spoon on the turbo. The C17 feels much better on the Brompton than on the turbo, same saddle angle, same saddle height but the spesh sirrus bike on the turbo is sized to Mrs Tenkay.

Have a lovely peaceful day folks 🚶🏃🚲🏊🌞
