Turn 46 tomorrow. Had nothing planned, sadly, as the weekend was already solid with kids events and activities.
Rode into work OK, went to make a coffee, bent down to get milk out the fridge and my back went "ping" and locked into spasm. Ended up being helped back to my desk, rang MrsMC to come and collect me, bike doesn't fit in the back of her car, spent half an hour arguing with Security about where I could leave my bike for the weekend. 🙄
If I can simply get out of bed in the morning, I will be delighted!
Wish I was 46.
Your bodies way of telling you that you're getting on a bit!
Nurse, the screens, please.....
It was on my 50th birthday that I discovered my torn knee cartilage. And how damn painful it was when it locked out. I couldn't get out of the bath and had to be helped by my wife and child.
I love birthdays.
A colleague helpfully suggested buying milk in pint bottles now I'm too old to pick up 4 pints without rupturing myself! 😳

Strange how your colleague would encourage you to buy milk in glass bottles whilst making a comment like that. They've just given you the perfect reason to smash it over their head!
You'll have to catch them first, though, and given your age, I doubt you could. 😉
Does the fact that I refer to milk in bottles rather than cartons give away my age?
I'm 39 tomorrow (happy birthday MCTD), no riding plans. Got to take the kids to swimming lessons in the morning, but then it's off down to Leicester to my sisters for a barbecue and beers. Hope it doesn't rain too much!!
No I think it was probably the way you opened the post with "Turn 46 tomorrow"!!

You could just be a hipster who is ironically drinking out of a bottle.
...or pouring it from a bottle into a jar.
46 ? You old fart
Have a good one - your bike safe or does it need collecting ?

Like the guys on [url= http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/on-my-way-to-get-the-snip ]this recent thread[/url], milk still comes in bottles. I drag a crate of them in most mornings at work after every other bastard in the building has walked past going "hm, someone should take that in" whilst it sits there quietly cheesifying to itself.

LOL! I'm using that myself, what a great phrase. 🙂
Every Saturday morning between the ages of 14 and 18 I delivered bottles/crates of milk starting at 4am. Think that is illegal nowadays. All for 90p an hour and the hope that it would be a breezy day when the blonde at 108 came out in her flimsy flighty dressing gown to pay us. She was my last call of the morning ....
Cheers Andy, bike eventually locked in a secure compound when the security supervisor realised that if he really wanted me to leave it over the weekend in a public place, then I would. (Partly because I'd quite like to replace it!)
I was 46 on Monday. My wife got me a unicycle (which is entertaining to others, a challenge to me!) And the kids got me a windsurfing lessons. 2 things on the bucket list without me asking!
So far this year I've applied myself, got a rowing machine, signed up for park runs, and feel fitter than I have for years. Got a couple of sit on kayaks and been paddling with my daughter on the sunny evenings. Had some amazing beach rides with my mates on fat bikes.
I reckon life starts at 46. Get your back sorted OP and just do it 🙂
Yeah, I had big plans for this year - new job, fitness, started running, planning some big rides.
All turned into a complete crock of shit so far. How do you end up only getting a supporting role in the film of your own life?
