The Retirement Thread

[derrick]

I am now retired again, that job took longer than i thought it would.
But well worth it.
Have also fallen behind with the bike servicing, No one is complaining so it's all good.

That looks like a new wheel job, definitely claim against the council.

Either a rebuild with a new hub and spokes, the rims in good knick, or a new wheel, I'll speak to the LBS sometime over the next few days.

The local blackbird is going to have to learn 4.30am is an unreasonable time to sing!!! Or suffer the consequences

Done four loads of washing - not all clothes I stress. Cleaned entire house except kitchen. I’m now so nackered I’m going back to bed.

Off to Manchester this evening to a focus group run by The Guardian. Should be very interesting, I’ve done a number of these for different organisations. £60 cash - pensioners will do owt for cash - so I can treat myself to a good meal as well.

Winner!!!

Clear and sunny here, hopefully will fit a ride in between the swim and gym sessions today.

A bit dull and breezy at the moment. Hopefully will have brightened up by 8.30 when I set off to meet the guys for the Friday Fry Up Ride.

Small disaster looming on the horizon. June 6th is the first event in our Inter Club Hill Climb Series. Three local clubs each run two events, I run my club’s event.

I have a brand new route, all risk assessed, approved by CTT, all the other leg work done. Yesterday I heard United Utilities have dug up the road half way up with temporary lights till June 22nd. Off to inspect this afternoon.

Looking like a cancellation or postponement at best, not happy.

Walk in the woods with Mrs rb58 today I think. And a holiday haircut before we head off to Scottishland.

Good morning fellow retirees. A cold start here. Bloody cold in fact . Good job i didn't pack the thermal drawers away.

 

[Drago]

Cooler here today. Tidy up then go for a run. Some fiddling in the man shed planned for later.

 

[Dirk]

Blimmin' windy last night; thought the caravan was going to blow over!
Calmed down a bit now. Off to Wadebridge this morning, then will find a nice spot for lunch.

 

[derrick]

No alarm clock this morning. But next door have the bloody builders in.

 

[screenman]

Back home after a swim, it is nice and bright out there still and warming up. Life is buzzing, great day ahead planned, keep smiling everybody as it confuses the hell out of moaners.

I have ridden everyday this week, so might as well ride today as well, yesterdays ride was down the Leeds/Liverpool canal from Steeton, one of my favourite rides if a breezy westerly, nearly 40 traffic free miles, I take the train up to Steeton its about £3.00 (half price within West Yorkshire) with my West Yorkshire old git pass, one change in Leeds.

I'll be doing something similar, dog walking this morning, 0.5 haircut this afternoon and fly off to the desert this evening. Enjoy your's!
