DJR Posted November 26, 2019 Share When I got home I told the wife I needed to go for a short ride to get to the 8000km mark .... but I saw she had set up the outside table for dinner and the food smelt really good, so I left the last two km for this morning so that I could celebrate with a breakfast at our coffee stop Smart husband Hairy and cat-i 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Posted November 26, 2019 Share Smart husband The good wine also came out .... now in hindsight ... I wonder what she wanted and I am scared of what I unknowingly agreed to Edited November 26, 2019 by Hairy cat-i 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildwindfr Posted November 27, 2019 Share Well done to Rouxie, see he has also passed the 6000km mark.Not sure how you reach 8000km in a year.Kudos to all of you! Rouxenator, EddieV, Hairy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rouxenator Posted November 28, 2019 Share Thanks, very slow week for me... Tuesday I dropped the car off for some work and walked to the bike shop to picked up my 26er that was in for a service - so only half the commute to work. They did not put enough air in the fork so I could not take my usual rocky route home... short commute home. Yesterday the afternoon commute was cut in half as I had to go pick up the car again. Today I will hopefully get in the usual 11 + 25 on my 29er. Odo rolled over to 27,000 on the way to work. Hairy, Albatross and EddieV 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ouzo Posted December 2, 2019 Share The cottage we have had for the last few years has apparently been sold and is now occupied permanently. So we will be in another one, I am not sure which one though.those damn things are rather pricey. In the late 90's or early 2000s we enquired, they refused to sell. Last year we decided to ask again, the small units were around 1.5m Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted December 2, 2019 Share 1.5M ... peanuts ..... But they pretty small. I am not sure what size the 1.5M one was but even the bigger ones and not that big. I recently was interested in buying a holiday place on the south coast to add to my rentals and the agency sent me the rentals till may next year and bar a few days here and there is is fully booked and 90% of the bookings had already been paid for. Did the maths and you can make money by renting them. The only thing I wasn't able to work out was what it would cost to keep a holiday rental maintained and that is what scared me off. There will probably always be something breaking or wearing out etc etc and that I couldn't put a figure to. That then changed my mind as basic maths told me staying so far away would mean extra maintenance costs and then possibly a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
