2024 Cycling

Great cycling trips and days out including Coast to Coast in France along the Canal du Midi!

Total distance covered in 2024 was = 2240 km (1392 miles) since collected my new 800W Giant Explorer electric bicycle in May. This has a fantatic range – mile for mile much better than my 2019 500W Giant Explorer.

Some great trips to France and some wonderful days out in Sussex.  I also managed to combine cycling with trips to Lyme Regis which were wonderful in the beautiful autumn days. These trips don’t include the Monday morning bike rides with John’s group here in Lewes. Unfortunately I didn’t have my Garmin for the first four months of the year so I don’t know what distances I covered in this period.
