The Retirement Thread

Let us know how you get on with it. I’ve used one in a gym and found it quite a workout.

That's what I'm hoping. They reckon if your technique is correct it is around 60% legs and the rest between core and arms. I will just take it very gently to start until I am sure I am getting it right. Don't want to strain my dodgy back, although they reckon if done correctly, it might actually strengthen your back so here's hoping.

Why don't you get one of these, you can get your ride in and your good lady can get a day out.

They've actually got something similar around here. Over in Comrie the next village I believe. Volunteers take the elderly/disabled out for little jaunts.




Here you go.

I put my name forward to similar round here a few years ago. For some reason the idea never got going.

You'll not be going back now, would you?

Right....off for a walk down to the village for a newspaper.

Morning all,
Cloudy and grey outside today, a bit bit chilly.
Of out on the brompton shortly to run a few errands, whichmay end with a couple of pints in the Mitre on the way home.
A kind of nothing really happening day today.
Enjoy your day everyone.

Its been a profitable morning, I sold an old Samsung J1 phone I wasn't using for forty quid, now sat in a local cafe with a sausage batch and a coffee.

Ha ha - not quite!

Awake at 10:55 today and about to get up, but that was only 5.5 hours of sleep.

I have been saying for years that I must sort my sleep routine out but I have read some worrying articles recently...

Studies have suggested that sleep patterns earlier in life may contribute to later dementia risk. Both insufficient sleep and sleeping longer than average have been linked to a greater likelihood of developing dementia. However, it has been hard to determine whether these sleep changes contribute to the disease or simply reflect early symptoms.

Either way, that doesn't sound good!

New toy delivered. Just 1,000 metres to try it and I was jiggered. Lol.

You should have stood up on the pedals and gave it your best Titanic impression!

The last time the weather caught me out it bucketed down and was completely drenched i had to ride into a rain lashing head wind all the way home...
Hope you like the new toy are you humming...'Mo Mo row your boat gently down the stream'
