The Retirement Thread

[pjd57]

When all the retirees on this thread actually stopped work, did you treat yourselves to a retirement present to yourselves. If so what was it? I am looking at a new bike from Condor---

I think a more expensive holiday than usual is the normal present to yourself

If I fancy something I buy it now, I cannot see the point in waiting.

Grey, damp and windy. I offered to help with today’s Intro Ride for my club. A choice I’m regretting from the warmth of my lounge.

This is a ride designed to help those who are new to club riding increase pace, improve road craft and become confident of riding in a group on a wheel. It’s fun but relatively slow and today will be pretty cold as a result. Winter jacket on me thinks!!

Just been to Wickes and currently waiting for Aldi to open. Brekkie at Fatboy's in Arnold today, over an hour away but we have other things to do in that area.

Cold out. Laying in my heated waterbed with a coffee.

Doesn't it make you feel a bit seasick?

Got to nip into town this morning.
Banstaple will no doubt be rammed, as it's raining.
Still got a steady flow of Grockle boxes.

Only during stormy weather.

Morning all. Rain here, not sure what the plans for today are yet.

My calves still feel a bit tight, so walk the dog today, resume running tomorrow.

Going to Italy in May, Cyprus in June, cycling in France to see some of the TDF in July and have booked the flights to Australia for October. Plus, there will be long weekends away walking coastal paths with the dog. I belong to two cycling clubs, one meets weekends the other during the week. I think that just about covers this year.
