June 2021 bicycle tour map from Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 bicycle tour map of Wales and Ireland. The map shows where Garry spent each night of his bike ride in April 2010. Behind each pin is a brief description of the day’s ride, along with the miles cycled for the day.
It was early April, an ideal time of year for cycle touring. The days are getting longer, and the temperature is rising. On last year’s trip, Garry had arrived in Ireland via France. But this year, he was going to ride his bicycle and tour through England and Wales to reach Ireland.
Garry had cycled the short distance through England and was mid-way through Wales when he started to get pain in his leg. Thinking he could ride the pain off, he struggled on. Garry reached Holyhead and jumped on the ferry to Dublin. Once in Ireland, Garry purchased a train ticket to take him to Galway, where he had ended his tour last year. Unfortunately, the train wasn’t leaving until the following morning. So Garry checked into a hotel and had an evening out in Dublin, which involved plenty of Guinness!
