I've just ridden my longest ride this year, 52 miles, not a nice day for it, bitter cold with a strong bitter wind that just blew through you rather than round you, and I rode though several snow showers.I also had the strap on my handlebar bag snap.
As its only six months old I will have to find the order and send it back.

They didn't see my money.
I ditched the normal pi$$ up with the guys, (at the retiring persons expense ) and just treated the family to a meal and drinks instead.
I wonder if that's why they don't keep in touch!
On a serious note, winding down is definitely the way to go.
Not an abrupt halt.
I've kept the care work ticking over at a very low level, down to a few days a month now, and that's more about cycling to work than anything else.
Todays turbo ride, a bit closer to you @screenman
I take it you did not get on with the rest of your watch.

I retired at 47 1/2. 50 would have been far too late.
I'm thinking of starting a business. However, utter apathy, no need for any extra income (although every penny gratefully received), and a lack of any idea whatsoever as to what I would do are all impeding me.
Did think about doing some BG work. Unfortunately, the overseas stuff is well paid but would keep me away from home, which I don't want. The British based jobs consist mainly of driving C list slebs around ensuring they don't get stabbed while trawling the streets for cocaine aren't worth the money.
The in between jobs which are UK based for someone truly wealthy are very rare - I know someone who did that for the All Fayed family, and aside from the eye watering daily rate they bought hi. A Rolex and all sorts of shizzle. Those jobs are rarer than a clean shaven commie.

Yeah... yadda yadda.... I think we've all got that message now.

Sorry I was answering Drago who it seems is looking for something.
I wasn't, unfortunately.
