| Exeter ride | 2019-03-23 | Into Exeter with Liz for lunch at Mrs Lutzy's.
A rather slow ride as Liz had a bad knee and was really only riding with one leg.
I'm assuming if she'd had two legs available we'd have averaged 18 mph...

| Liz ride to work and Exeter | 2019-03-27 | 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 then rescued Aidan in the car.

| Another puncture | 2019-03-27 | 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 the tyres. What was much worse was that while I'd managed to bring the right sized spare tube for the new bike, I'd neglected to bring one with the right valve type to fit through the wheel. Trying to use a 20 year old puncture repair kit didn't work too well either.
So Liz cycled on home and came back to rescue me from the canal car park by the Swans Nest for the second time in about 4 months.

| A crash and some hills | 2019-05-12 | Out round Upton Pyne and Bramford Speke.
There's some big hills around Upton Pyne!
Loads of muppets on the cycle path and Liz tried to go round some and came off the bike. Grazed arms and legs and a bunch of bruising.
So a slightly shaken ride back into the strong sea breeze on the way home.
At least Mrs Lutzy's had some choccie cakes.

| 2017 miles cycled in 2017 | 2017-12-02 | This track reaches my target of cycling 2017 miles in 2017!
Was meant to be a gentle ride to Lutzys for lunch but a torn wall on the side of Liz's tyre meant that we had to abandon and get a new tyre.
Then into Exeter Quay a little later reaching the 2017 mile mark somewhere near the Turf Locks.

| Windy Exeter ride | 2018-01-01 | A very breezy ride into Exeter with Liz. Hard work on the way out - easier on the way back. Exe was flooding so couldn't get all the way to the Mill on the Exe. Stopped at Lutzy's for coffee.

| Floods, a puncture and a disputed cupcake | 2018-03-04 | Post snow flooding on the Exe cycle path meant a bunch of walking. Liz didn't want the gorgeous Lutzy's cupcake bought for her so it was half each - the first "snack" this year! Then a blowout on the way home on Lizzie's rear tyre. Not helped by the poxy pump we had with us only being able to half inflate the tyre. A trip to the LBS tomorrow for a replacement.

Lots of hills on the way out to Kennford!

| Cycling into Brian | 2017-10-21 | In fact, Storm Brian was mostly a westerly and Liz and I were cycling mostly north / south so apart from the occasional big gust, it didn't make too much of a difference.
The coffee and custard tart at Lutzys was very good!
