Bicycle Touring India This week’s Travelsonabike2 on this day bicycle touring blog post comes from India on the 19th December 2011. My fifteen minutes of fame in India. This was the second time in nearly as many days that I'd been stopped and asked for an interview by a film crew. Monday, 19th December 2011, Sarapali to Sambalpur. 77 miles.

Garry McGivern Video Update Take a look at my latest Travelsonabike2 video update, S25 E2, that was posted on my YouTube channel today, the 17th of December 2025. It was my birthday the other day (the 15th), and I was supposed to be cycling to London. A little ambitious, maybe, considering how bad my hip is at the moment. But if I don’t try, I won’t know.

Bicycle Touring India This week, my Travelsonabike2 on this day bicycle touring blog post comes from India on the 12th December 2011. A tough day of cycling on the roads of India. I remember this day, up until this point, I had felt completely comfortable cycling in India. Not today. Monday 12th December 2011, Dhule to Bhusawal. 77 miles. I’ve finished my ride in the dark every day this week, not today.

Bicycle Touring Photographs Garry McGivern’s Travelsonabike2 November 2025 bicycle touring photos. Photographs that I've posted on my website over the past month. That I've taken while travelling around the world on my bike. This month’s photos come from Turkey, Nepal, Bulgaria and England. There’s no Flickr photo album this month as I've spent most of the month at home. Trying to stay healthy and injury-free.

Monthly Update From Garry McGivern My monthly update for November 2025. It’s been a quiet month, but it started well with a camping trip. But ended up with staying home. I should have had an operation, but I cancelled it. And my DCM (Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy) seems to be getting worse. The month started well with the end of my ride, which took me around some of my regular campsites, which have now all closed until next year.

Monday 28th November 2011. In Istanbul. It was a bit of a sad day today, as I had to say goodbye to Julie. It’s been nice playing the tourist for the past few days.

Travelsonabike2 Bicycle Touring Map Bicycle tour map for October 2025 from Garry McGivern Travelsonabike2. Strictly speaking, this isn’t a tour, or not, as Garry classes a bicycle tour; it’s not even one continuous ride. Garry classifies a tour as anything over 500 miles (800 kilometres). The map shows where Garry spent each night on his October 2025 bike rides. Behind each pin is a brief description of the day's ride and the miles cycled for the day.
