The Retirement Thread

[Drago]

I live not many miles from Santa Pod which, incidentally, was named after one of Father Christmas' testicles.

I'm looking to give a year's notice in September - I get 2 extra days leave a month before retirement - see you all in September 2018

Arghh..I'm October 2023 at the earliest.

Quiet day planned tomorrow. Been growing my hair out a bit now I'm retired and don't need to intimidate gobby drunk twenty something's on a saturday night with my appearance, so Daughter #1 is coming over to give me a trim. She does my hair for free as I paid her college course - she's a hard little worker and within a few years opened up her own salon, and made such a success that she recently (against my advice, bit its her money) dropped over 70 big ones in a new Porshe Cayenne. Be nice to catch up.

You will have to pedal fast, those cars are quick.

Great day today, nice 2k swim some time with eldest son, a 20 mile on the bike, 5 bikes and 2 cars washed and 3 garages and a private customer also paid me for doing something I enjoy. Now to sit down with a tipple and a read.

First leg of the Tour de Cotswolds this morning. On the road at 0930.
Redditch to Tewkesbury today - a leisurely 40 miles with cafe and pub stops.
Weather currently sunny but cool with a northerly wind.
Looking good.

Ideal weather for it Papa Dirkie. Watch out for wintry showers.

My shoulder is really punishing me today for yesterdays lengthy trig bagging jaunt, so I'll have a day at home.

nice leisurely 35 miles with a few other non working club members, then home to receive a cycling related delivery :-)

Rolled into Tewkesbury at about 2.30. Weather had been better than expected, bright and dry all the way. Stopping in the Wetherspoons hotel, The Hop Pole, and must say it's actually OK. £64 a room per night. They allow you to take your bikes into the rooms. The beer is good and we've had a couple of decent steaks.
Planning to hit the road at 09.30 tomorrow and got a hilly 44 miles to Hook Norton. Hopefully the weather should hold out.

 

[Drago]

Doctors tomorrow, shoulder check up. Fortunately, this lady Doc is a young hotty so it's no hardship.

 

[Drago]

Email from a Search and Rescue team in the SE. They want me to do a basic L3 course in June. My Old Feller lives nearby so I might stay with him, make a long weekend out of it.

As aforementioned, Doctors today and a lazy day, more Trig Bagging tomorrow.
