Amazing! Wish I had taken it up when I was younger. It’s like a lot of things in life, not realising till too late how much you enjoy something but being past making any improvements due to age and injuries. Never mind, I am really enjoying it just now so that’s all that matters.
Your Never too old Mo!
Anecdote time :
As a younger, more foolish man I would, from time to time come up with really great ideas 😁
On this particular occasion I noticed that my 55th Birthday fell on a Sunday and coincided with the AAA 50k championships that were being held at Sutton Park. I thought it would make a great way to mark my birthday and I could bang an extra lap in to make it 55@55, nice and symmetrical 😁
I had a brother who lived in that area so it would also be an opportunity to catch up with him and make a week end of it. I’d been away from the distance running “ scene” for a while so I thought I’d adopt a low profile and tootle round at a nice easy pace.
As I was finishing the last lap of the 50k I was overtaken by a familiar face from my distance running days, he called out a greeting as he went past and once I’d done my extra “birthday “ lap I went over to congratulate him and catch up on what he’d been up to.
The guy was, if I’m remembering correctly about 72 at the time. I remarked that he’d run a great race and that he must be really pleased with his performance, he said he’d hoped to do better but his legs were still a bit stiff from the hundred miler that he’d done the previous week.
So there you have it Mo, you’re never too old...

Yes, we had a variation on that, a phone call, with an automated voice, telling me my prime membership was about to expire, press 1 etc

I used my new tablet on a Zoom call with my family this afternoon. On previous Zoom sessions I had been using the web browser version on my laptop and that was always a pain - a fuzzy picture and the picture and/or sound would freeze sporadically. No interruptions to the sound or picture today and both were clearer than through the browser.
What I wasn't so keen on was that the webcam is quite high up relative to the meeting window so it makes me look like I am staring at my feet when I am talking. I'll see if I can find a way of docking that window at the top of the tablet rather than in the middle of the screen.

My wife and I walked that route about 25 years ago long before it became a cycle route . Must have really good as we had our first daughter nine months later .😂😂😂

I find a bike in the kitchen is allowed in our kitchen under certain circumstances, that is if I am working on my wife’s bike . 😂😂😂Bike in the kitchen!!!!
I'd have to offer up three Hail Marys and a Lord's Prayer to have any chance of that..........

Night night everyone. Still no cycling for me , but I am feeling slightly better in myself. But we were allowed back sailing on Sunday . It was cold and damp all race with very little wind, but I loved it , finished second out of five . Made me realise how much I had missed sailing for the last month . These little high/ good points in life make it all worthwhile. Sleep tight everyone. 😀😀😀
Oh and good morning to Mo as I am sure she will be checking in the next few hours 😘😀😀

Ah, apparently I could swipe left or right to control the view. I'll try that next time...
