The Retirement Thread

[Mo1959]

Morning. I was up early and dressed ready for a walk but changed my mind and got into the cycling gear and bimbled instead. Just 21 miles. We may have rain by lunchtime if the forecast is correct. Next couple of weeks are looking better. Mostly dry, but breezy so must make more effort to get out cycling.

Watching it now. Think it might be hard to follow!

I did notice that all six episodes have been recorded.Looks like a session of binge watching is on the cards if the weather forecast turns out correct.

I might watch some on Saturday evening as it's usually a poor night with nothing I normally watch.

Think it’s time to adopt a short term siege mentality

Good morning. Feeling a bit stiff this morning but hey ho that's life. I decided against any riding till I have a new helmet so need to sort that out ASAP. It's a good drying day so the chair covers are in the washing machine. Ironing to do and some allotment stuff, possibly clean the car.

My Specialized that I bought from someone on here is now 8 years old, and although I haven't dropped or damaged it, I got a bit paranoid about it possibly degrading due to weather, temperature, sweat, etc so got the nice green Bora one from here. I think it might have reduced slightly since I bought it.

Thanks Mo. I generally replace mine every 3-4 years and always after a crash. I'll take a look at those but first I'm going to see if my current helmet, Kask Mojito X, is still available as it suits me very well.

Ouch. I have personal experience of potholes unfortunately, hope you're not too bad and that the bike's okay.

Still waiting here. My afternoon ride has been postponed a week because a thunderstorm was forecast. If I can get a 7 km dry Metro ride in I will.
