I will have a look. MR WD prefers to have ones that look like trainers. And they must be light as well.

Done hundreds of miles in my Country Roamers - most comfortable shoes i've ever had.

Have had a busy week so far, but today and Friday are me days, Went for the first ride of the week. 43 miles with a slight detour to Loughton, a special delivery for one of my grandaughters, Teddy needed a new hat, When i got to Loughton my daughter was in, so stopped for a coffee and biscuit. Then on to get them miles in, lovely solo ride weather was warm, i was a little over dressed, Got home had a shower then had to walk up to the town to pick up a parcel from the post office, Felt thirsty on the way back, so popped into the local for a pint, that went down well.

Retired on 23rd October, on my 66th birthday.
It feels weird.
Mrs OFT has a few more years to work before she retires.
It doesn’t matter any more what time I fall outa bed, but I get up same time as the missus and make her coffee for her.
When I walk past my home office, it’s now lifeless. No laptop glowing. No phone ringing. Nobody chasing my ass.
However......
A whiteboard has appeared, affixed to the side of the fridge.
I swear the bloody thing is connected to the cloud or summat.
Jobs keep appearing on it.
Had a very productive morning, completing and clearing the jobs off the list, then got a 20 mile ride in this afternoon

My Brasher boots are 25 years old and wearing very well, the new Brashers not so, in fact after a couple of years they were binned. Grisport are now my choice of very hardwearing boot/shoe.

Afternoon. Got my bum into gear and went for a 17 mile bimble. Nice in the sun but bloomin cold in the shade.

Ah mate, nothing worse than having to grip a chain between your buttocks to change gear.

A real foggy morning out there, cannot even see the street lights at the end of our drive. I am certainly not venturing out until it has cleared a good bit.

 

[welsh dragon]

Morning folks. . Dark here still. No idea what the weather is going to be like here today. A case of watch and see i think.

Dog walked. Dull and grey here, but surprisingly warm. Went out wearing a t shirt, light fleece and scruffy joggers and got a good sweat going.

Off to the seaside today.
Probably end up at Sidmouth.
