Bonjour. I was planning on going for a ride today because the forecast said fine weather. It is bl***dy raining !!
My last ride was last Sunday and I feel my motivation is going down rapidly. Even going on the turbo is not appealing so I may have to lose my summer fitness and reclaim it in the spring.
By the way, I will be 70 tomorrow morning at 6.30 but due to Covid, no gathering and meal out with the family but a zoom meeting planned at 7.30 pm with everybody.

70 ???
You are a mere child

Morning all...I am just a poor boy my though story's seldom told I have squandered.......

Anyone else been enjoying watching Autumnwatch this week?

I and MrsP are. I thought the last year was a bit samey and stale, but Springwatch and Autumnwatch this year with the slightly different format has reinvigorated it.

High winds last night have taken one of my fence panels down. It was on it's last legs anyway.
Ah....the joys of coastal living!
I can get away with not replacing it until Spring when the weather improves.

They're using folding chairs!!

Sold short by the look of things.

Been out for a little ride on my faithful old Thorn then gave it some much needed soap and water. The roads are filthy just now so the sparklingly clean chain won’t stay as such for long but at least it keeps things in check for another few weeks.

That's not a folding chair.........it's MrsD's shopping trolley and I'd already had a mouthful of the beer to test it!

You mean to say you're not carrying the shopping!

Well done..........as usual if I don’t go out first thing, I can’t be bothered. It’s nice enough too apart from the breeze.

I'm wet....no I haven't pissed my pants, 4.3 miles walk in the drizzle, had to get out instead of looking at four walls all day

I've got a Thorn .....my Ex .....No Club Tour

A mile swim in less than 29 minutes this morning has left me feeling tired.

Mine’s a Nomad from the late 90’s. Straight bars, V-brakes, 26” wheels, triple chainset. This year I livened it up by fitting Panaracer Paselas rather than my usual Schwalbe Marathons. I’m prefering it to my Croix de Fer at the moment.
