Uncle Champ 116 Posted November 25, 2019 That's 19 work days till retirement. Of coarse I still don't have an orange bike, unless I ride the wife's bike. Are there midweek rides? Can I please go to Borrego? Nah I don't want to wear out my old Husky. Just warning you I might have some free time after Jan. 2nd, scary but exciting at the same time. signed: almost on an FI, (fixed income) 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oracle 195 Posted November 25, 2019 Rad. Congrats. Retirement is awesome. Start working out now. Mid week rides are no joke. It's not just a couple old guys cruising around the desert. Mule and I got in a rock fight on Pole Line road last week with new knobbies. 🛵 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris, my senile old guy brain remembers your GPS clocking the two of us at 82 mph??? There are only a few folks on this Earth that I can trust riding close to at speed... and that is you Chris, and you LB! After retirement, I never feel more alive than when the stakes/fun level are at their highest; thanks for playing with me! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once retired, you (we) can play mid week when the price is right and the crowds are nonexistent.
