The Retirement Thread

[GM]

Twas near Southam. The sooner the price of domestic fuel is doubled and these chumps are priced off the road, the sooner the world will be a nicer place. GPS speed limiters, excess speed detecting tasers, 28 day bans for minor speeding offences, public crushing of offenders cars while they are forced to watch, nothing is too draconian in my view.

Triple like for that!

Morning all. Up early and out for a ride with the boys and girls in the London ride.

Good morning. It is a tad warm here. It was so hot here all last night.

Enjoy your ride @GM

Good day. So far an excellent weekend in the Lakes with the club. Great ride up here, some decent climbing (Red Bank, Grasmere) and lanes yesterday. I've successfully avoided a hangover two mornings running!!!

I'm looking out the window at dull, grey, breezy and drizzle. Apparently our hostel is at the bottom of one of the best descents in the Lakes. Discussion last night was how good it would be to ride this............to my mind the flaw in this plan is I'm already at the bottom of a 16 mile descent, be it the best or not...........

Awake early, refreshed and hungover. Clean the car am, and I'm entered in the Dog Jog PM. What a treat that'll be for me old mate Lemmy.

What is wrong with people? If they're in such a hurry, leave 5 minutes earlier. Endangering and inconveniencing people, not to mention the extra pollution, has seriously boiled my pith today. They're a bunch of selfish ar[next 3 paragraphs of foul mouthed ranting that would shock even Rupert Murdoch deleted by mods]

Calm down dear! You're starting to sound like a curmudgeonly old pensioner.

It seems the shine has worn off the descent plan for all.......I suspect Dawn has cleared the fog of alcohol.

Moi? Nice ride to Oxenholme, train to Preston and a swift 9 miles home from there.

Hopefully, bus replacement services in some parts.

All ready for the Dog Jog.

A 17 mile bimble for me. Dry at first then it hissed down. Roast lamb for us today with roasted veggies.

Just got back from driving our friends around the North Devon loop of the Tour of Britain stage. They couldn't believe how hilly it was!
Off for a walk with them all now, down to our local for Sunday lunch and a few beers.

I shall blame you for this!!! Booked ticket and reservation when trains were running - like yesterday. Arrived at Oxenholme and there is train defect.

Network rail can't find any problem with the points. So they're going to try running a train over them to see what happens!!!!!!

Glad I'm not on that train!!!!!
