The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Thanks PaulSB so good info there Im all for not shreading skin! when i was a motorcyclist i wore the best and could've been shot out of a cannon without ill affect!

You'll fully understand the shredding issue then. It is so important.

Just back from a really enjoyable 5k with Mrs Tenkaykev. Coming back inside the house felt so toasty warm. That sounds like a money saving strategy, every time we're feeling chilly just head out the door for a 5k jaunt😁

Rename the thread?

Good grief! Are we ready chaps? Man (and woman of course) the battlements. Barricade the doors.

@Dirk do not let them cross your palm with silver.

He's a wee bit over the 365 day limit for doing that.

Considering that our 'Retirement Thread' pre dates the other one by at least 7 months; if any thread title should be changed, it should be the other one.

A wee bit more than seven months.

When I was 18 I came off my motor bike on a new gravel road.
I slid along on my ar*e and ended up in hospital, lying on my stomach while a nurse pick gravel out of my bum

Nothing. I can find nothing wrong with my tyre or wheel. A complete mystery. I half suspected at 8.30 this would be the case and a of air would solve it. On the other hand I know someone who set off on a group ride middle of last December. On tubeless and got a flat, after other people had spent 30 minutes wrestling with the problem she confessed the valve was leaking when she set off. Another 30 minutes later a tube had been inserted and off the group went. 14 people had to hang about in December for an hour.

That's why I won't set out with a group if I have a potential problem. Very bad form.

So my Kinesis is clean, shiny, degreased, lubed, inflated and ready for the morning. The Cervelo was already shiny so I've prepared her for tomorrow as well.

I am not a fan of tubeless tyres. I will stick with the normal ones

An exceptionally nice morning, lots of almost warm sun and not much wind. Did a little walk from the house.

I was talking about this other usurper thread.
Thread 'Retirement, how much?' https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/retirement-how-much.226897/

Maybe they should combine those two threads, and leave us alone, as they are basically the same?

Not at the rate you're going. You'll be doing the night shift, till around 2am, when things go quiet.
