The Retirement Thread

[Gunk]

As of 30 minutes ago I have joined you lot.

After 44 years full time work with jobs before that (including working in a bike shop) I thought the time had come…..

You won’t regret it

When did people starting planing their retirement. I think I started at 15 years old following my first day at work.😏

No, it's true.

Unlike the one that said Canada were going to relabel the US “South Canada”

The very first words spoken to me by my first ever boss at Solicitors Law Stationery Society, High Holborn, were
"How old are you, son?"
"15"
"Just think, in 50 years you can have a bl00dy good holiday"

I really enjoyed working, just not particularly for other people. I now work for myself but only 2 days a week. I only planned my retirement about a year before I finished.

So I got my double hit yesterday, nice to see some racing, even saw Ben Turner doing a wheelie up the gravel climb. I've now moved on to Port de Tudons for stage 9.

Just a couple of photos from stage 6.

Welcome @midlife be prepared for some informal chat, some irrelevant rubbish and a lot of fun. Plus more than a few recipes.

I didnt tbh. I was 63 when out of the blue a company offered to buy me out......the next month I was retired. Best move possible for me.
