The 10 Best Summer cycling clothes

... I'm not THAT deaf, though ... yet!



! Trouble IS ... trying to convince Myrna - who worries constantly (and sometimes needlessly ) about my safety.

Joking aside ... and without going altogether ... THIS will be my 15,000th post since joining the forum in the Autumn of 2008. (Btw ... I notice you're not far behind!)

Now ... during my 40s - when I was in peak physical condition - I managed to "clock-up" MORE mileage than I currently average in posts during a single year. So that'll give readers of this thread some idea of how seriously I took cycling, at a time when I was working a normal 35-hr week. Indeed, MOST evenings (weather permitting) I thought nothing of covering 50~odd miles locally - especially if I was "in training" for some long trip I had planned in advance ... such as Perth to Carlisle via the then A74 during late September 1988) spread over two days.

Congrats on your 15,000th Arthur, and for staying ahead of me in the obsessional posting department.

Now get back on that bike ya lazy bugger ! No excuses !

Thanks for your congratulatory messages, guys.

Ah ... like both of you, I am old enough to recall the opening words of singer Mary Hopkins' late 60s chart success which, appropriate to my present circumstances, I have rearranged
these words to read:

"My friends, those were the days ... !!!"
