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.
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!
Into Exeter and back with Liz. Not our fastest!
Into Exeter and back round Exminster gold course
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.
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...

Into Exeter with Liz
Into Exeter and back with Liz.
Out with Liz for another cycle ride into Exeter and back. Trying to "power" up the bridge at Powderham, I broke 3 spokes on the rear wheel. So the last 2.5 miles are Liz alone as she went home to get the car to rescue me…
Another 20 mile ride into Exeter and back. First ever average of 13 mph on a twenty mile ride. Storm Angus had left the flood prevention overflows in full spate in Exeter.
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…
Another twenty miler into Exeter and back.
Liz's first time back on the bike at the tail end of a two week lurgy.
Into Exeter - just past St Davids
Into Exeter with Liz
Into Exeter and back with Liz (who forgot the mince pies). Sunny and no wind!
First ride in a fortnight - work and the weather put paid to the previous weekend.
Into Exeter and back. First solo ride for a couple of week and the slightly higher speeds made it hard work!
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!
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.
Slow ride back from Exeter
Coffee and nibbles at Mrs Lutzys for first time in a long while.
A gentle wide into Exeter and back with Liz.
Into Exeter and back. Average speed not too bad given that there was quite a strong headwind 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.
