Eurovelo Bicycle Tour Map: Autumn 2019 | Travelsonabike2

Map of Europe

Eurovelo Bicycle Tour Map

October 2019 Eurovelo bicycle tour map from Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2. The map shows where Garry spent each night of his Eurovelo bicycle tour. Behind each pin is a brief description of the day’s ride, along with the miles cycled.

Still waiting for a date to have his hip operation, Garry decided to head off on another trip. Looking for an easy ride and one that wasn’t too far away! Garry came up with the idea of cycling some of Europe’s long-distance cycle paths. The EuroVelo routes.

He decided that the EV6, the Atlantic to the Black Sea. And the EV15 Rhine River cycle routes would make a good combination. Although Garry would only be cycling part of them. Namely the Loire Valley and the Canal du Rhône, on the EV6. Going as far as Mulhouse. From Mulhouse, Garry would pick up the EV15. Taking him to France, Germany and The Netherlands.

Life After Sepsis: Cycling France, Montbeliard To Kembs | Travelsonabike2

Bicycle Touring France: Montbeliard to Kembs

Life after sepsis and back to bicycle touring, my latest update: cycling in France, Montbeliard to Kembs via Basel, Switzerland. 73 Miles. That was a longer-than-expected day. I had planned on having a short day! I was debating all morning as to whether I should go to Switzerland or not! Seeing as I was so close.

Basel (Switzerland) was only about 25 miles from Mulhouse. Mulhouse was the point where I needed to turn left and head up the Eurovelo route 15 towards Holland. Or turn right to Switzerland!

In the end, I decided to go to Switzerland, which wasn’t the wisest of choices, as it turned out! When I arrived there, it just didn’t have such a good feeling about it. Don’t ask me why, it just didn’t!

I’ve seen plenty of herons on this trip, but this is the first photo I’ve been able to get

That’s one of the reasons why I never like to go back somewhere I’ve already been; the first memories are always the best! After realising that I didn’t want to stay in Basel, I looked for an alternative place to stay, and found a campsite just outside the city! And yes, as you’ve guessed, it was closed!

Luckily, I’d passed another campsite a few miles back on my way into Basel, which I saw was open. And that’s where I’ve ended up tonight. I might have a rest day tomorrow. My tent and everything was wet from my last night’s camp, as it always is. But because I didn’t stop till late, nothing has had a chance to dry out! And is still damp now, four hours later!

Despite my little detour into Switzerland and cycling an unnecessary 30 miles, I’ve still had a good day.
