European Bicycle Tour: Cycling to Monaco
A somewhat random ride, cycling from Malaga in Spain to Monaco. But it was to serve two purposes. Later on in the year, Garry was planning on an epic cycle ride to Australia. And knew that he would have to take his bike on an aeroplane, something that he’d never done before. In the past, Garry had always managed to get around by either ferry or train. But on this trip, there was no avoiding it, so it was a trial run for flying with a bike. And what better place than to try it than in Europe. That way if anything did go wrong, maybe if the bicycle got lost or damaged, Garry could get home quickly and easily.
Another reason for the Malaga to Monaco bicycle tour was that Garry’s past trips had seen him cycle along much of Europe’s coastline, from Venice to Amsterdam. But there was a gap, yes, you’ve guessed it, the bit between Malaga and Monaco. And this was the ideal opportunity to do it and kill two birds with one stone. Flying with his bike and completing another stretch of the European coastline. And, of course, it was a good excuse to go on a bike ride.
