The Retirement Thread

[welsh dragon]

We have hundreds of thousands of pheasants that have been released all running along the main roads and the lanes. There are no hunters around to shoot them, so most will survive. They are such a menace on the roads. They cause hundreds of thousands of pounds of damage to people vehicles each year as well as causing accidents. Not long ago a motorcyclist hit one when it flew into him and killed him.

Well good morning and it is a good morning. I'm looking out of the window at a blue, clear, windless sky. Out for a ride at 9.30. Today's buddy loves a cafe stop so I'm trying to find somewhere which does both takeaway and vegan cake in a lockdowned pandemic. As you do. It will probably be Ribchester as I know they do both. I'm also looking for a new way to get there.

It'll be a bit of a landmark this morning as I should get in enough miles to drop below 800 to hit my target. I'm going for 7500 and I'm on 6646 so 55+ would do it. Psychologically having only 100/week to do will be good. I'd also planned to ride 400,000 feet but only on 358,000 so finding another 5,000/week is a huge ask - don't think I'll make that one.

Allotment time this afternoon.

Porridge next.

Blimey Paulus..... he has finished now. What time do you call this ?

I've been awake since 5.50, wrote the post out, but missed the post reply button. I thought I had posted but had not

Out with the dog soon and then a bimble on the bike
The weather looks good and very light winds.

Morning all . Just enjoying a coffee and discussing with mrs exlaser what route she is going to do with our daughter. They don’t normally ride together ( they can normally fall out over the smallest thing at the best of times lol ) but as there are no club rides they are going to risk it. Fingers crossed.
I am still not feeling great , so I will clean the bathroom, not sure I’ve got the good end of the stick. Lol.
Had my blood test this week , so fingers crossed things will get better. 😀

I have an exciting delivery due soon..............socks! Don't know how I go through them so quickly but I always end up with holes pretty quickly. Mind you the last ones were cheapies from Amazon so hoping these ones will last longer.

Had to take white as they had no black left which is a pain for running just now with the muddy conditions. They won't stay white for long!

Good morning exciting people. After breakfast, I shall take Molly for a run on the beach as it is a sunny day so far. Later on, I shall put @Mo1959 to shame by doing a 20 to 30 miles ride. It is only 6 degrees out at the moment but it should go up to about 11 this afternoon.
Have a good day everybody.

Eh? Have I mentioned them before? Can't remember. Lol. Anyway, they have just arrived and are very comfy.

Walking down to the village for a newspaper and some fruit & veg.
That's a 2 mile round trip.....every little helps.

 

[welsh dragon]

I love socks. I have multi coloured Wooly ones for the cold weather. They match my bloomers

Sorry......I was getting mixed up with having sex on the brain

Still a pea souper here. Look at the web cam at Scone airport. They haven't put the air ambulance out yet. Maybe too foggy to take off?
