The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Just had the postie with a pair of these that seem to get good reviews. I suffer with cold hands as soon as it gets near freezing so thought I would treat myself in case we get some nice dry, but cold days in the winter when I can still get out.

They are maybe a bit unwieldy but will be fine for the trigger shifters on the hybrid.

I have Reynards which can catch me out in cool or cold weather but is not to bad when cycling so long as I wear half decent gloves.
Daughter has it worse but hers is in her feet.

I had a little bimble too.....about the same length. No blue skies here though. Just lots of puddles but I had mudguards.

I can park my arse on the couch and watch the cycling after lunch.

Well done Mo.

Went out for a ride and my legs didn't want to go round, this is the first ride since I had that virus thing and I only did 10 miles and they really ache now.

Easy, you've to drive back into town to pick aunty up, once she's been to the bank.

All done and back home now. Aunty is, sadly, getting more frail now. A lovely woman who, at 95, never complains.

I thought you were negative on the test.

Well big decision taken. I've renewed our season tickets to watch the mighty Rovers.

Now we wait to see where our personal bubble will be located.

You did do the test in the correct order, mouth then nose. Not the other way round!

Do a "Mo", park yourself on the sofa/couch.

Good job you don't live near Mo

What if Mo doesn't want to share her couch with Numbnuts?....I rather think Mo is a lady with certain standards

Back from a pleasant 35 miles of West Lothian hills, sun sadly absent, grey and damp, and the exit from every farmer’s field a trail of tractor mud. My nice clean bike of yesterday is no longer so. Swallows still about but getting fewer.

One of my grandsons is here with the dog. He can smell food being cooked and wants some.

Gents. On the subject of Gentleman's awakening. When you visit the little room in the night do you stand or sit. Only there was a thread about it several years ago on here, apparently it's better for your water works if you sit, and also it avoids the splashes!
