The Retirement Thread

[Deleted member 1258]

Today I've done a lot of running around, it's also been a bit of a stressful day, the bonus was seeing our youngest lad, we haven't seen much of him lately so that was nice, I've also got the food for our Xmas night buffet and got our turkey crown so thats two things off my to do list.

Dirk, what is the sausage in the bun? Is it a bratwurst? A Polish sausage?
Another high wind day here, and warm at 14C, although tomorrow will be much less windy and 1/2 C in preparation for a little snow for a few days. Today there will be some stretches, a little core and maybe some upper body, along with a bit of bike maintenance and a trip to Home Depot to pick up a bit of stainless steel for a backdrop between the stove and range hood. And of course the inevitable dog walk.
I've already set up my mtn bike with studded snows and maybe today I will put a studded tire on my SA 3 speed wheel for my Steamroller, already having a front wheel with studs. I have 3 pair of wheels for that bike so its easy to adapt it to what seems best for the conditions du jour.
Been trying to find formula or a chart which converts wind to the steepness of a grade. For example, if there is a 25 mph headwind on level ground, would that be the same effort required to go 10 mph as 10 mph on a 7% grade. No luck so far. Perhaps one of you highly inteligent and wise folks has an answer?
Be well and happy, I will drop by again at your bedtime.

They tend be ordinary sausages made with either pork or beef.

You sound like you're a sausage expert.........

I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday

When the GP brings the jab
Well he just might take a stab
He’s put a great big smile on somebody’s face
If you jump into your bed
’Cos your temperature’s in the red
Don’t you lock the doors
You know test-and-tracers are on their way
Oh well, I wish it could be Christmas in January
Then the pubs start serving and the vaccine is in play
Oh, I wish it could be Christmas in January
Let the bells ring then for Christmas


We Three Kings

We three kings of Orient are
From the same house, so let us in the bar
At ten it’s last orders, but we’re awful dawdlers
Oh hell, is that a police car?

You damn Athlete's and your health good

You enjoy it, that sounds like a proper bike ride to me.. The racing snakes can stick their energy bars/drinks I'm happiest when stopping for a pint and butty

Damn you predictive text (or was it just my big fingers!). That was obviously supposed to read as 'health food' and not 'health good' by the way

I'm nackered. These winter miles are very tough. Cold, dank, roads covered in shite, cafes closed. Ughhhh. 58 miles to Nateby and back. We know a cracking little takeaway next to an industrial estate. They do bacon and egg barns the size of a dinner plate stuffed with huge rashers. Washed down with piping hot coffee with delicious tray bake Bakewell tart. Hmmmmm...... heavenly......... perhaps winter miles aren't so bad 🤔

We had four pee stops.......it's either bloody cold or we are all getting older????

One of my buddies has started talking about London Edinburgh London. I suggested if he wants a 1500km bike ride we set course for the Med. I can see where this is heading, I'll be 68 - my buddy pointed out I always do a challenge to celebrate my birthday.

He's crazy!

I know. That's why I'll be 68.....in 2022. 😄

Thanks PaulSB for the wind drag info. Pretty much what I felt....a 10 mile ride into a stout headwind may be equivalent to a 20 when its still. Winter is the windiest season in Wyoming and the extra clothing and heavier tires make it a bit harder as well. Still, it's great to be outside and on a bike when possible.
Just wondered if Dirk's lunch was what you would call a hot dog.
Good night from me to you all.
