The Retirement Thread

Slight drizzle here just now. I wandered up to the Co-op as I was needing baking potatoes and tomatoes. Somehow a couple of fudge yum yums ended up in my basket too.

£4.80 for a pint of Timothy Taylors at my local. Very reasonable in the current climate I think.

It's going to be tight at the top this season. The potential top teams have all spent well.

Definitely will be closer than last season.

City beaten today was a big surprise, though.

Pub prices are awful these days - large wine & a pint of lager shandy is £13.00-15.00 here.

Crazy!

I have just joined a Nautical Archaeology Society investigating 11 unknown shipwrecks in the Bay and a B17 bomber. I love my history.

Hello. Clean forgot to check in this morning as I was busy getting ready for a club ride. I planned to join the C group - expected average 15mph. When I arrived at the meet point five B riders decided to join the C ride. Oh well, I thought. 😲

To give you a flavour I overheard "of course the great thing about growing up in the late 80s was no mobile phones and screens." Hmmm I thought.......🤣🤣

So 17avg for the ride when I dropped off to head home 15.9 at home. I think the interesting stat is my average heart was 118 and I was in Z3/Z4 for 68% of the ride. My usual average HR is 105 - 110 and 85 - 90% Z2. Clearly working hard but at no point did I feel stretched. Pleased by this. Not too shabby at 71 and I did a couple of turns.

Is there any sign they actually did anything, other than close the road?

Nothing at all, now the only thing I thought was overhead cables, that's all is could be.

The usual stuff then.

One of my drinking pals defines "affluence" as "not having to consider the price of the beer" 😂

On another evening, the discussion was "how expensive will the beer have to get, before you stop drinking?"

 

[Oldhippy]

I wouldn't pay £6 for an occasional beer that's for sure.

Painting done. I hope it's OK as it looks like it's going to rain. One more coat tomorrow should be enough.

I think we past that point a long time ago.

Clearly not in my little circle of pals. Having said that, I seldom drink beer, I normally stick with red wine

Good start to the season for my team.
