The Retirement Thread

Love Boscastle, one of my favourite places in the country

I seem to remember visiting a weird museum in Boscastle Think it was about the occult or weird local legends

I think it was a witches museum, its been a long time since I was there, I seem to remember we had to hurry the museum visit or we would have missed our coach.

I don't do strava

Not even as a means of recording your own rides?

Never bothered with it myself as it's all club cyclists near me, and I thought I didn't quite meet their requirements. Ride at my own speed, and not into club kit.

I wasn't good enough for the local running club because I didn't bother pre-run or post-run exercises. Just turn up and run.

It's blown over here and the wind is in your direction so see if you get it in 20 minutes or so?

We got the rain on the hour, for less than 10 minutes, but that were it.

Blimey - that's a lot to pay for only 1/32 of one byte!

EE are tight that way.

I don't have a GPS device on the bike, all I have is a basic computer, I've been riding the local lanes since the mid 1980's so I don't need a GPS device for navigating, if I want to record a ride I have Ride with GPS on the phone, I have a folder full of routes on my desktop and will record a ride if I've come up with a different route.

Thought your route descriptions were well organized. Which is what made me think of strava. That and one of Mo's recent ride being flagged.

Torrential rain now along with thunder and lightning and I have heard the air ambulance is up……rather them than me!

Going to Yorkshire tomorrow to visit my wife's sister who has MS. I think a call to the bike shop in Settle is also on the cards afterwards. Only going for the day, back in the evening.

Look out for Ye Olde Naked Man... (@numbnuts is up there on holiday)

Only joking - it's a cafe across from the bike shop! (The bike shop actually has its own cafe too.)

Thanks for that but we know the area well and have been there many times. My wife originates from nearby.

In that case, have you ever tackled the climbs eastwards from Settle, Langcliffe, or Stainforth?

No but I heard it is a tough one and many cyclists walk it. Honestly , I don't think I will ever attempt it as I don't want a heart attack.
