I have officially joined the ranks of the Pensioners today. Time for Life 2.0.

It seems you become a member of the grumpy old men club automatically, although I have been a member for years.

Does this mean you will be able turn round bits you are making quicker, Lee? That's me just been relegated to the back of the queue again. Well done. Hopefully, you will have a bit more time to actually ride your bikes. Ali

I'm 18 months into my retirement having reduced work hours for three years beforehand (which was a good idea). I am amazed how busy I am still.

 

Enjoy it Lee!
