The Retirement Thread

Just had a message to say my treadmill is "7 stops away"....... why they've left it so long to at least give me a clue is beyond me.

Mines weighs about 12 stone. The 2 guys bringing it in nearly had a heart attack!

Haha.....this is supposed to weight 29 Kgs. Now I know I have got weaker in recent years but imo it MUST be well over that.
I will get my grandson to get it into position for me.

I know. This is close to sacrilegious

Clearly bollocks as there was no line “ There’s a guy I can do a favour for”

45 minutes on Zwift done. I stupidly thought I would be ok without the fan as I wasn’t intending putting much effort in, but still ended up cooking and couldn’t be bothered to hop off.

I managed to cook myself last Sunday on the TRIBE Box Hill Brunch ride by riding with the window open and the fan off - I was well basted by the end and the sweat pouring onto my phone screen was playing havoc with my Spotify playlist , I have been using a Vacmaster workout fan for a couple of years but it is a bit noisy so I thought I would see if I could do without it - answer NO

I then tried our Dyson fan type thing on Wednesdays ride which was the Zwift unlocked Stage 3 event but the Dyson wasn't man enough and I got partially basted.

Thursday I hit the Col du Galibier on the climb portal so it was back to the Vacmaster and boy was I happy to put up with the noise

I've just got 150 calories left to burn before Sunday to meet my 1000 calories a week target.

Just started to watch Blindspot on NF with Ross Kemp.

Utter dross.

Wooden acting, dumb plot line, PC boxes ticked. Definitely low-budget.

2/10.

Caught up on last nights All Creatures Great and Small. Might watch some stuff on YouTube now
for an hour before bed.
