The Retirement Thread

Managed a ride this morning - before it started raining all after noon

Canal paths were really dry - which was a surprise

there was an incident - nearly back and just entering Spike Island
so basically still riding along a canal paths - but tarmac and quite wide for a canal path

and I saw a scrambler motorbike coming towards me
OK - probably illegal but he was going slow-ish and no problems

but when it got close I noticed there was another bloke on the back and as we passed his hand reached out as if you grab me as they went past

not sure if he missed, or started too late or just backed off

but WOW!!

A quick grab of his fingers and bend them in a manner nature didn't intend would dampen his ardour.

I noticed him to late for that - by handlebar were already past him and we were both doing about 10 mph

but there was certainly something that he did

I have reported it to the Polce - nothing they can do about this but you never know if there is a patten or some copper sitting in the back will find several reports and think" hmmm - maybe someone is getting ideas we should do something about"

Oh forgot - ride today

so warm that after a few miles I stopped and took my jumper off and rode the rest with just the t-shirt and light hi-vis coat

Was even thinking I could have done it in shorts!!!!!

First time this year!

Perhaps I'm pernanently wired up after a career in uniforms. Im always situationally aware when our and about.

18 point a bit celsiuses today, was down to my muscle vest and joggers again while digging.

The alternator failed on the boat engine this morning so had to remove, right pita and try to find another.
