The Retirement Thread

Speaking of cats...

Hmmm, interesting and eventful ride today. I took a wrong turn so we ended up lost. Back on route and I'm three feet off my buddy's wheel when he decides to stop without warning for a pee. I hit his seat post with my left shifter but ended up stopping on his left side. It wasn't a good pee stop, no cover. His excuse was he wanted to stop before we overtook the women in front.

Next we're climbing Oakenclough and I'm chasing a different buddy. He's got 50-60 yards on me but I know I can outsprint him on the top of the climb/segment. Just as I hit the top I whack it on to the big ring and push hard........ chain drops. 🥴 Next segment is swooping, twisting and climbing. I'm absolutely nailing it, white van passes nice and wide 👍 crest the rise and said white van is doing a three point turn 😠 I stop, van moves, buddies come sailing by waving cheerfully.

It's been suggested my final Fred Whitton training should be wrapped in cotton wool in an armchair!!!!

@classic33 People in Comrie saying there was an earthquake a couple of hours ago, but nothing on the website yet.

There were two in the same area, a minute apart.

I climbed a ladder and scrambled on to the roof of Mrs Tenkaykev’s shed ( we have one each) 🤔 There was a large tin of roofing felt adhesive thats been sitting in a cupboard for several years, I thought I’d use it on the roof as a preventative measure. It was very black, very sticky and very pungent. I managed to complete it ok, and clamber down the ladder without incident. I did feel a bit “heady” afterwards so I think the one coat is going to have to be enough.

Dave 7, the bright orange and very odiferous salmon eggs I mean come in a jar and are used for fishbait. They may be good if you are a fish although if taken from a gravid salmonette on her way to spawn they maybe tasty roe to some folks.

Evening everyone. Hope everyone has had a good bank holiday .
All we did was have a walk round bosworth field and a quick drink at Sutton stop . 😀

 

[ColinJ]

Oh, was it a bank holiday? I don't even know what day of the week is most of the time now, let alone whether it is a holiday or not...

Flipping heck, I've just realised that I haven't left the house since nipping out to the shops on Friday evening. I'll have to go cycling mojo-hunting soon or I'll be trapped in here for the winter!

Morning people, dull grey and cool here again.

 

[Dave7]

Good morning Mr Drago (and all others of course).
My 'plan' is to have a shower then a quick Aldi dash.
Lots of tidying up to do before my Bro and SiL arrive for lunch.
As a certain member would say...."sithi later".

 

[welsh dragon]

Morning. Another dull and overcast day at the moment.

Nothing much planned for today.

Stay safe peeps

 

[Dirk]

Morning all

Bit of tidying up to do around the bungalow, then off to Barnstaple to buy some new shorts.

 

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning folks,
A triple dose of excitement with bin day, veg box day and organised walk day. The jollop that I applied to the shed roof yesterday looks ok ( from a distance), I’m tempted to have a go at the big shed while the weather is dry.
I ordered some new cycling shorts online as they were £14 in a sale, mentioned it to Mrs Tenkaykev who took a look and asked me to add “ a couple of things “ to my order. The £14 is now £86 so my new cycling shorts turned out to be very expensive 🤔
Have a peaceful day folks 🌻🌻🌻

Good morning all, another grey one here. Gym this morning.

I see that it didn’t take long to see the effect of Scottish schools going back
