The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Morning. Finally managed a little bimble. Just 16 miles on a very overcast morning which I wanted as bright light still smarts a bit. Tried out the new glasses and was very impressed with them. Really good lens clarity with no distortion that you can get with some glasses. Unfortunately the heavens opened 2 miles from home and I got soaked though but good to get out.

These are the specs if anyone wants to treat themselves. Lol.

They do look nice Mo.
MrsD had a home visit optician and I was impressed.
I need prescription lenses and he had a nice, light, wrap around pair. I don't like those insert type so think I will go with these.........@250 smackers .

Didn’t they call them piss pot helmets?

Never heard that one.

I thought I'd come into the Retirement Room, after all I am Retired, and got a bit scared at the mention of Time Trials. I guess there's room for me as well though, and you won't mind if I just amble along.

Bonjour. Waiting for Mrs G to come back from shopping so I can go for a ride as I am looking after 2 grandchildren at the moment: hard work!.
I wish she would hurry up.

You're bigger, and older, than them. Show them who's the boss.

Welcome. Just light hearted chat in here, nothing too serious...........especially not time trials!

Welcome 👍 they’re an eccentric bunch on here, and good hearted. I’m probably the only sensible one on here 😉

Hi Classic.
I put this on the DIY thread. Got some good response but with my health and genera lack of tech know how most is beyond me.
Problem/symptoms.......
Put it on to xyz settings and all seems well. Then, after a few minutes it cuts out.
It has an external filter so........
1. Been outside and hoovered the exit.
2. Hoovered the machine filter & holder..
Just tried a 15 minute refresh and that was ok.

Hope it stays working.

The piece in bold is the important part. You know, and can accept your own limitations. Many don't and can't, which is where problems start.

It has (I think) just come to me. My helmet was Everoak......does that sound right?
