The Retirement Thread

[pawl]

Riding 4-5000 miles a year and getting 1 perhaps 2 punctures a year, some years none at all, was acceptable, why I should suddenly get 6 in 10 months I don't know, but its pissing me off.

I’m going to tempt providence I haven’t had one of those things beginning with P in the last two years.

I swear by the Michelin range of endurance tyres.Normally ride 23c.Might give 25c a try on the planet x

On my Giant I have Michelin all season 23c Unfortunately with clip on guards I can’t go any wider.Have had these on for approximately a year and seem quite durable. Looking at them they do appear to be a little wider than 23c.
I do less mileage than you around 2000 miles a year.
Hope you get the problem sorted.

Well that was a gorgeous morning, wonderfully still, with warm hazy sunshine and cool morning air.

Yours is that stone cottage on the right-hand edge, with the newish roof!

If MrsD saw that big beastie she would off like a rocket
TBH I would be close behind

Can you run quicker than her.

Nice walk near the Mendip Gliding Club site this morning, then another walk through Stock Well woods.
Doggie should sleep well tonight!.

Followed by a spot of luncheon (Fish & Chips of course!) at the Brittania Inn, Wells.

Happy days!

Our postman has just been and I've a letter from HMRC. When I get these letters I always think the worst, they've made a mistake and I owe them money or something. Relieved it was a small tax rebate, just enough for a new cassette for the Genesis or a pair of tan wall tyres for the Bromie.

These ones are used to walkers and their cameras

That’s actually a golf clubhouse, one of two in the vicinity that have gone bust in recent years. There are various proposals for repurposing it, including a mtb trail centre, but nothing has come of them yet. The course itself is currently mostly being used to graze horses.

He'll only put another price up saying we were both wrong anyway.
