April 2018 bicycle tour map from Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2. The map shows where Garry spent each night of his bike ride around East England. Behind each pin is a brief description of the day’s ride, along with the miles cycled for the day.
With the country experiencing a mini heatwave, it seemed the ideal time to go away, especially as Garry’s been forced to give up work! Garry was diagnosed with Osteoarthritis in his right hip. And is waiting to go into the hospital to have it replaced! But without a date, why not go away? But where?
After a bit of thought, Garry decided to head to Swanage. Unfortunately, 40 miles from home, Garry’s saddle broke! Finding it too uncomfortable to carry on, Garry jumped on a train and headed home. Luckily for Garry, he had an old saddle. Although it wasn’t brilliant, it served its purpose, allowing Garry to get back on the road!
