The Retirement Thread

I will, thanks..
Hamtun, pretty much in the middle but I could be heading anywhere N E W or S, probably sideways.. 🤷‍♂️

He lives on a bench in the middle of the town centre. He sets his watch for 2am as that when the night club closes and he doesn't want drunks weeing on him.

I hope you all appreciate that someone has to risk life & limb to deliver the Easter Eggs!! 😋

Anyways up... I'm going to have a coffee & do a few Suduku thingies before I catch the omnibus into town 🚍

I was just remeniscing (as you do) and recall that when we were kids and misbehaving our parents didn't need to explore our Karma or release our Chakra.
A single good slap did the job.

Oh, go on then, seeing as you asked. She's a beautiful deep green. Last time I held a bare frame was 10 years ago. My LBS handed me a C3 frame and asked "how about this?" I fell in love. 😍

My Grandad (mum's Dad) had been a bare knuckle boxer and taught me a few things. Once I'd reached a certain size I think my Dad was worried about what I might do in retaliation if he'd raised a hand to me, and I certainly dont recall him ever doing so. But by God, when he went bimbo it was a frightening enough sight on its own was enough to keep me in line.

Ahhh I googled it and the carbon one they showed had yellow squiggly lines so I did the normal silly thing and assumed !!

It's this one, though my build is significantly different and lower cost as well. Cervelo Caledonia 5 and based on the Ultegra di2 model.

High winds predicted for the riverside later which means the wind turbine will get a good work out.

Be a shame to take it out and ride it really. Perhaps it should be framed and kept in your front room

Attention non-sleepers. I have a friend, yes really in the real world I do have a friend! who has a rubbish sleep pattern. It's very similar to mine, early to bed 9.30/10.00 and asleep in moments and then wakes between 1.00 and 3.00, his mind starts working and he can't get back to sleep. He does take his numbers, nutrition etc seriously though some of it is a bit hare-brained in my view. Anyway his current recommendation ois a tablespoon of maple syrup before bed.

The theory is the start of hunger stimulates the body to wake up as it wants food. Maple syrup is a very good source of slow release energy which fuels the body through the night. I've bought some maple syrup. At the worst I can put it in my flapjacks or on my porridge.

I once had the loan of one of these for a few weeks. If I was a single man it would be hanging over the fireplace. It was the most stunningly beautiful bike I've ever seen......including any I've owned!!
