The Retirement Thread

[Dave7]

Well well well.....its only 13.15 and I have arrived. Hope I am allowed in .
This morning we really really planned a trip into town as we have several things to do, one being to try and book a holiday for May. However Mrs D was just not able to go.....this lurgy is trying to kill us. She spent yesterday in bed.
Had nothing to eat yet as we cant face it.
More yummy presents today . As we were ill we couldnt visit our son over christmas so he sent them via his sister. Among the lovely hamper were........
1. A one year sub to the whisky trail. I get a small single month every month for a year.
2. A selection of Asian foods and sauces.
3. A very nice bottle of old port.

A tad breezy out there today, but hard-won miles are worth more in the bank though surely?

Absolutely right. We just put down 53 miles at 15.6avg in to raging headwinds. At one point we were bowling along at 20, turned a 90 degree bend and almost stopped. It was like riding in to a wall!

Right, I'm heading out. I'll take my 4G tablet and check in when I can.

If we go to war against Iran before I'm back then Lance O'Classic is to raise a militia, arm you all with pitchforks, and take back the UK from the young people.

Adios.

Currently sat in X Ray with my Good Lady, been here for an hour now, she's got a general referral, no specific time, they'll fit her in when theres a space. Got a hard 51 miles in this morning, I wondered why I was flying on the way out, then I came out the cafe and turned for home, I got the ride the wrong way round, short out and scenic home, I should have done it the other way round, 13.7 mph average on the way out and down to 13 mph average on the way home.

Mrs P has finally agreed to seek medical advice for her cough. GP surgery at 4.00 to see the practice nurse.

Same thing happened to us Dave. Flying along for miles and then we turned in to a block headwind. Then it rained. It was tough in a group. Chapeau for solo.

I managed to miss the rain, got in half an hour before it started.
