Helping take Triskelle from The Turf up to The Basin in the center of Exeter. No real dramas but, my, are some of the bridge crossing points of the canal narrow when you are on a large trimaran. Unfortunately, I only rem…

To the Swing Bridge on Exeter canal and back again. A lovely day with the mist lifting as the day went on. Took lots of photos

Along the estuary and canal to the swing bridges and back. The start of Lizs cycle training apparently

A ride along the estuary and canal into Exeter and back

Along the estuary and canal to the swing bridges on the newly serviced bikes. Stopped for a cup of coffee at the Turf on the way back

Too much talking too much wind and too much carrot cake to make for a respectable average speed but not bad on the distance front. Next week the girls will be cycling to Exmouth and back apparently.

Wild swans and some of the best cheesy chips ever!

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

First bike ride in a very long time. Only as far as the Countess Wear swing bridges over the Exeter Canal. Work is about half way through the 14 month schedule of work on the swing bridge / roads. As per the pictures, o…

Up the Bude Canal. Some locks and a "portage". After the 3rd lock the water got a bit gloopy and a bit low so we stopped at that point. Spent the paddle back debating whether the £5 fee was a rip off or we were glad to "…

With Marija and Jeremy L for a kayak paddle along the Grand Western Canal from Boehill Bridge to a bit past Halberton. A lovely trip with a bit of stroppy swan action on the return! All the rather splendid WhatsApp imag…

Into Exeter looking at double glazing (shut - would be dull) and kayaks (much more interesting).

Met up with Liz after she'd finished work and cycled into Exeter for lunch at Mrs Lutzys. Cycling back, I got a puncture. It was bad enough that the "snake eyes" double puncture highlighted that I'd been under inflating…

Light winds on the way to the Quay and a head wind on the way back. New walking boots at Framers Friend. Wearing out the soles of walking boots every years must mean we are walking the dog too much.

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.

Shopping trip.

Into Exeter with Liz. Liz's first cycle ride since a Xmas lurgie.

Into Exeter and Dawlish with Liz for some shopping. Headwind on the way out.

Liz cycle ride to work and then into Exeter with Aidan for lunch at Mrs Lutzys. Aidan had a puncture on the way home and had brought the right sized spare tyre but with the wrong sized valve. Doh. Liz cycled home and the…

Another twenty miler into Exeter and back.

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

A windy ride into Exeter and back. Luckily the wind (F5 to F7 on Met Office forecast) was mostly on the side,

A windy ride into Exeter and back, Liz still in post lurgie mode.

A little bit of Exeter shopping

Into work employed. Back from work redundant - well at least in 12 days time!

Into Exeter and back with Liz. Coffee at Mrs Lutzys.
