The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Good morning people, washing out on the line, breakfast eaten, I got up this morning to no internet, but restarting the router seems to have sorted that.My yoga ha now finished for the summer, I'll have to find something else to do Tuesdays for a couple of weeks, we finished the class yesterday and sat down and had a gossip over a cup of tea. You have my sympathies welsh dragon, I've had back and hip pain for years, its been getting worse lately, I might have to take it down the doctor and insist they investigate it, last time I took it down the doctor they said wear and tear nothing we can do just take pain killers.

Run done, just relaxing with a nice, refreshing and stimulating Nespresso (thank you - George Clooney). Nothing really planned today. The tyre people are coming out to fit four new boots to Mrs Ds car, sometime between 9 and 5. Not a very helpful time slot - soon they'll name only the week or month! I've nothing much to do, house is tidy, Smart car clean, grass recently cut, so I may just spend today's retirement day reading.

Morning all, a quieter day today. I need a new waterproof cycling jacket so I will go to my LBS to see what he has got. A pint or three at lunchtime and then, if MissP's house has completed I am going there with her to get the keys and check the place is empty of all junk.

Mrs D is cycling to the Waterside Cafe on the Tarka Trail this morning to meet up with an old workmate. I'll go out with her and then carry on for a longer ride by myself. Weather is a bit overcast but fairly warm.

Morning All
They reckon it's going to rain tomorrow so i must get out and mow the lawn and cut the back hedge.
Hopefully i'll might get a bike ride in later as well.
Blimey it's exhausting this retiring lark.

Leg day today. Always a tricky one for me. As a big heavy lad my legs work hard all the time. Add in the running and cycling and my legs are stronger than Yorkshire tea left to brew. As such I find it difficult to gain more mass down there. Does t stop me trying, but 260kg leg presses are the limit of the machine at my gym, and I can do that without a warm up, so leg days are a bit unfulfilli g for me.

Leg day for me as well......

35 hilly miles at an average of 13 mph.

Croatia perchance!

That was last year. This is a bit more off the beaten track.

Out on the hire bikes today. Its bloody hilly here.

Snoozed off watching Spiderman. Waking myself up with a cup of Clooney's.

Seeing as you're riding on the left, I'd reckon Cyprus.

How fast did you go down it?
