The Retirement Thread

[Paulus]

My back was niggling so rather than sit, I have been another walk which helped. Ended up getting carried away and did nearly 6 miles up the hill trail.

Met a guy on a fancy Specialized e-bike zooming up the hill. Out of curiosity I have checked the Strava segment and lo and behold, he has not disclosed it as being an e-bike. These people are starting to spoil Strava for those of us who like to compare how we are doing with others in the same age bracket.

I've stopped using Strava for the same reasons.
Maybe I've lost the competitive mojo.

I only use Strava to be able to see my pitiful mileage. I keep it all private and never publish times speeder anything else. And i have it on the Ebike part as well.

The day may not be far off when I need one, but I would get no pleasure in not recording it properly just to look good on Strava. It’s really spoiled it, especially for paying users.

That's the good thing about running Mo, very hard to bend the rules unless someone has invented running shoes with a motor in!

Must admit having seen a lot of "fantasy" times of late on Strava cycling I don't really look at the segments anymore.

I've been awake for ages, I even did the word thing, but it took 6 goes well we all can't be smart arse's

Good day all. Not been on much as I have a problem with my mobile.....it is devouring my data usage. I am trying to find the reason.

Disable data transfer over network until you actually need it.

I'm bread making but the machine is doing all the work.

What are you doing whilst the machine makes the bread then, given you're not making bread whilst you're bread making?

Have a quick taste of those pancakes before you have your nap.

Mrs Tenkaykev made a loaf yesterday using the Panasonic bread machine. Something went amiss as the slices just fall apart. I suspect lack of oil / fat.

I had one of them too

I’m grumpy most days!

I'm not.....well you have to laugh or I'd cry
