The Retirement Thread

Well that my jury service over, 2.5 days, could have been done in one with a bit of organizing. What amazed me was the charge was from 2025 nearly 18 months to bring it to trial.

The day gets better.

Got about a mile and a half out of town before some close pass p***k had me off onto the verge. Broad daylight, nothing immediately coming the other way, so I can only conclude it was deliberate. Anyone who thinks daytime lights or high bis makes them any safer is a fool.

Bike undamaged, wrenched my left knee where I went over on my nearside. Sadlyndid not have the foresight to wear a helmet on my knee. Managed to ride home slowly. Taxi driver coming the other way stopped to check I was ok. He has a dashcam, will check when he finishes and call me. Also he would have passed an ANPR camera less than 30 seconds before encountering me so theres a change of an ID.

Reported to dibble. Doesnt look like the boys will be getting their lunchtime walk.

Jeez! Where was that? 😕

Newport Pagnell Road, heading out of town, just before the Preston Deanery/Great Houghton crossroads. Was going out the the forest for a few laps and a brew, then back up the Quinton road.

Clear road, good conditions, I was dressed in a manner that even Ray Charles would have seen me, so I can only presume it was deliberate. Theres an ANPR camera on the edge of town which it would have passed by...unless it turned out of St. George's Fields.

Im ok. Just hobbled round Tesco using the trolley like a zimmer frame and im now very achy, so Im guessing its sprained.

Evening all .
Not done a lot today, we went to Anglesey to see if we could see red squirrels and found some at newborough 😀. Had lunch at a very nice local cafe, then stopped at Bangor on the way home just to go on the pier .
It was a good day . 😀

Used to live in Bangor - the pier is nice - always loved walking up it and back

Hebden Bridge via Long Causeway today. It was cold tho, I should have a jacket on. Then back via Cragg Vale. Missed the train so rode all the way back. Hebden Bridge was nice. Pleasant people and nice shops, some good riding around there (hilly) but you have the Canal for easier rides
