Morning..........I was out on the bike by then!
Nearly 27 miles on the mountain bike done. Mix of road and trail. Forecast said there was a chance of a shower but it held off.

To be fair, you're only retired on week days, so today is just one of your days off.
As I regularly worked Saturdays when I was working today is part of my retirement.

Sent away for some Ergon grips for the mountain bike. My hands and wrists were sore this morning with the bog standard round grips. I think I might lop an inch or two off the bars too.

I did consider non 9-5 types, but I thought it'd kill the throw away comment to include it.

I read this thread as a form of self torture. All things being equal I'll be a bona fide member next year.
I just need to get my mind set right, and stop feeling aggrieved that anyone going a month before me gets an extra days retirement, and I have to work an extra day because of that bloody leap year.

I retired a year early at 64, I'd put myself in the position where I could survive the year before my pension kicked in, a cycling mate of mine retired at 40,

A lovely day here in Poshshire.

Is that a recognised footpath or has the farmer just been generous and doesn't plough to the edge like some of them do around here.

Seems to be a water channel to the right of the path.

It's not a footpath, but it's the farm where I go clay shooting and old farmer boy James is happy for my to roam at will cos he knows I'll challenge anyone letting their dogs on the crops or messing with machinery etc.
That bit where the photo was taken is the track he keeps clear so people can driver their cars down to the shooting area, but 200 metres further on.

We're on the bus to Nuneaton, they've got a market on Saturdays, it takes about an hour each way on the bus.
