Where’s Garry

Where’s Garry? Unfortunately, Garry’s stuck at home recovering from surgery!

2021 hasn’t been the best of years for cycle touring! (neither was 2020, for that matter!) What with being stuck at home because of the Covid-19 lockdown! And now Garry’s recovering from hip surgery.

Lockdown was eased in early June, and as soon as he could, Garry was off! Unfortunately, so was everybody else! And with foreign travel banned the campsites were very busy, especially at the weekend! So Garry came up with the idea of touring midweek and returning home for the weekend. This worked for two weeks! While he was on his second week of riding, Garry received a call from the hospital! It was a call that Garry knew was coming, so it was no big surprise. He was just hoping it wasn’t going to be this soon! Garry was being called in for hip surgery, which had been hanging over his head since his first operation in 2018!

The operation went well, and Garry was only in the hospital for one night. He now has several months of rehabilitation before getting back on his bike properly. And he’s hopeful to be able to go away somewhere before the years out. Even if it is only an overnight trip!

So in the meantime, Garry’s busy with his exercises and physio, trying to build his strength up. So he can get back on the bike as soon as possible!

You can follow Garry’s progress on social media, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. Alternatively, sign-up for Garry’s blog to receive his monthly updates and news of future tours.
