Bicycle tour map for Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 June-2024 European bike ride. It’s been a long time since Garry had been able to string enough time together to go away touring. His DCM, along with all his other ailments, means he has a lot of hospital appointments that he needs to attend. But finally, he found three weeks between appointments.

The map shows where Garry spent each night of his ride through France, Belgium, the Netherlands and England. Behind each pin is a brief description of the day’s ride, along with the miles cycled for the day.

Although none of this tour was new to Garry, it had been a long time since he’d cycled along the coast north of Dieppe. And because Garry didn’t feel comfortable cycling on the roads, much of this stretch of the ride was completely new to Garry. Total miles cycled: 973.

Bicycle touring map for January 2024 from Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2. The map shows where Garry spent each night in January while out touring on his bike. Behind each pin is a brief description of the day’s ride, along with the miles cycled for the day. The different rides are sorted by colour.

Garry had two mini-tours in January. The first ride was to Salisbury and Devizes. Garry had wanted to continue, but there are few campsites open at this time of the year. And the campsite Garry had intended to head for had closed down. Garry’s second ride out a couple of weeks later saw him cycle to Surrey, Hertfordshire, Kent and East Sussex.

Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 July-2023 Benelux bicycle-tour map. The map shows where Garry spent each night of his 800-mile cycle ride around the low countries; Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Behind each pin on the map is a brief description of the day’s ride and the miles cycled.

It was Garry’s first full tour since being diagnosed with Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM), which causes narrowing of the cervical spinal canal, leading to chronic spinal cord compression and resultant neurologic disability. But that wasn’t going to stop Garry from going away on his bike. Because of his DCM, Garry has started to struggle a little with hills, and the idea of going to Benelux in the first place was because it’s flat. Or so Garry thought.

To start his tour of the low countries, Garry had to get there first. And he certainly wasn’t going to fly. After all, it’s not exactly that far away from the UK. After catching the ferry to Dieppe, Garry cycled across France and soon reached Luxembourg. He made quick work of Luxembourg and was only there for a few hours. Well, it is a rather small country. Belgium and the Netherlands took a little longer, but not much.

Not one of Garry’s longest tours as he was up against the clock with a hospital appointment booked for the beginning of August, which, as it turned out, got cancelled. But that’s a different story.
