Garry McGivern 2024 Bicycle Tours
Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2 2024 bicycle tours. Due to Garry’s ongoing health issues, it’s been another bad year on the cycling front, with Garry only managing one real tour. He has to attend the hospital every month for checks on his degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM), which, along with all the other appointments he has. Leaves little time for cycling long distances. (Garry classes a tour as a ride over 500 miles or 800 km)
Garry’s only tour saw him head over to the continent. After catching an overnight ferry to France (Saint-Malo), Garry followed the coast up to Belgium and into the Netherlands. Where he then jumped on another ferry back to England. Back in England, he cycled across England to Salisbury, where, just for a change, he had a hospital appointment. Although this was a rather important one, as it was with the neurosurgeon.
Although there may only be one tour here, Garry has completed plenty of smaller weekend rides, which can be found in the archive pages at the bottom of the website.
