The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Physio appointment was rearranged to 1pm. Wandered down the hill into Wimborne to catch my bus afterwards and as I was approaching the stop I stumbled to my right and realised that I’d accidentally ended up in the Tap House. Not wishing to appear rude, I felt obliged to order a pint of beer and a packet of cheese and onion crisps. 🍺

Enjoy........and then you can stumble back out again after a few!

I think I should go for a little siesta before I eat any more!

I don't get a lot of luck I would like to do longer rides this summer, so I bought a second battery for my trike at a cost of £250, it came today........wait for it........now my charger is not working, had it checked and it is burnt out.....another £80 for a replacement

I got a fierce attack of the munchies so went round to the shop for some junk. Munching an iced Chelsea bun now.

Wife commented a while ago that she has some medication waiting to be picked up at the pharmacy
then - some time later - commented that it is needed urgently

so got my bike out and went to get it
as I reached the road outside our house I could feel some extremely light rain - about 2 drops
thought - nah - it'll stop

p****g down by the time I started back

the things I do for her!!!!

A quiet day here today in Devon.

We took the dog for a couple of short walks.

I cleaned my bike - I had been negligent last time and left it filthy.

I pulled a lot of grotty old lath and plaster off one bedroom wall. The whole lot is being replaced with plasterboard. My sister is saving money on the cottage renovation where she can by the family doing the easy/safe/unskilled jobs.

I then did a short bike ride to investigate rumours that a bridleway which had been unrideable last summer due to mud had been resurfaced. Yes, the first few hundred metres had been and it was a big improvement. After that though there was a mud climb that I couldn't ride up on my slick road tyes. I walked that bit and then managed to ride a bit further before encountering the quagmire. It is a woodland track ripped up by forestry vehicles. Hopefully, the rest of the bridleway will be upgraded because that would offer a third EW route for me on my stays here. I can go via Exeter or Crediton but there is currently no road bike-friendly route over the wooded hills in between.

Covers more than just the A30.
You can check your route before you travel, and on the move, for any problems.

Google maps doesn't give advance notice of planned work though.
