A ride along the estuary and canal into Exeter and back
Back into Exeter to buy a replacement car after our Citroen Xsara estate died after just 77k miles.

Into Exeter with Liz. Tacked on a couple fo extra miles to get me to under 100 miles to annual target. Liz going super speedy to break the 10mph barrier for the first time in a few weeks!
To buy stuff that wasn't there
Needed to go into work and wife needed the car for the mile trip into her work so hubby had a 20 mile round trip to work by bike. OK - so she did have to come home at lunchtime for Scooby hound but...
Liz ride into Exeter and back
Start of a possible attempt to maybe get a little fitter. A twenty mile round trip ride into Exeter (Mill on the Exe area) and back again. The final climb back up Cockwood Hill nearly killed me.
Another ride into Exeter and back. Hard work!
Third day in a row of cycling into Exeter and back. Every day is getting harder - surely that's not right! A couple of "reading breaks" on the way back.
Into Exeter on a very windy day - probably force seven from the south east. 12.3mph on the way in to Exeter and 8.9mph on the way back.
Into Exeter with Liz
Started wit a little sleet but the black ice had gone.
Well almost a twenty miler. The 2 inch rain fall in Exeter meant that the last part of the cycle path ride was under water. Hard work cycling in to the head wind that was the remnants of Storm Angus. Disappointing that t…

Liz's first time back on the bike at the tail end of a two week lurgy.

Back from Exeter and via Dawlish Warren
Into Exeter after a lot of rain. Road alongside the Estuary was flooded. Liz got wet feet!
Ride in to Exeter with Liz to buy a new buoyancy aid. Coffee at Mrs Lutzys.
A ride with Liz into Exeter and back. Lots of kids on the cycle path with shiny new Xmas present bikes.
Cold days cycle ride into Exeter and back. Just above freezing. Very gentle ride with Liz - reflected in the somewhat slower than usual average speed.
Super fast on the way out. A bit slower on the way back. The last five miles were into a fairly strong headwind right on the nose. That and pouring rain and the cold put a slight damper on the last quarter!
A very fast (for me) ride out to Exeter (averaged 16.2mph - would have been faster but for the hordes of pedestrians on the last couple of miles) and a somewhat slower ride back into quite a strong head wind. Stopped bri…
Another "fast for me" ride into Exeter and back. Fast - as in more than 14mph average. There was a sod of a headwind on the way out so made up time on the way back (although I could swear that the wind changed direction…
Into work and then on to Exeter for Liz.
Into Exeter for some DIY click and collect shopping
Into Exeter with Liz. Stopped at Lutzys and SYC on the way back.
Wanted a nice gentle ride as it was the first time back on the bike in three weeks - a camper van trip and a slow to end lurgie having got in the way. And a nice gentle ride with Liz it was.
