After 2½ years locked out of Europe due to the Corona virus pandemic, I finally get to collect my bike in southern France and go eBike touring around the Continent once again. The vague plan is to head north, arriving in Scotland around mid-May. But first I follow the Canal du Midi south-east out of…

#87 Around Port Phillip Bay
Yikes! The end of November (2021) already and I’ve only ridden 1,300 km in the past 6 months since my last multi-day trip in early May #86 Crossing the Great Divide. I can mostly blame the latest COVID 19 lockdown for this (we did just achieve the world’s record for duration of lockdown, after all…
#75 Occitanie and the Haute-Garonne
Touring in the hills and alongside the canals in Southern France on my eBike – can’t be beat. Circling Toulouse: north-west from Albi to Montauban, south and further west to Auch, south again to the Pyrenees at Cierp-Gaud, and finally back north-east into Toulouse.
#74 The Med and Languedoc
By eBike along the fabulous Costa Brava coastline into France and along the Mediterranean as far as Sète, how good is that! But wait it gets better… inland through the Languedoc vineyards around Béziers and into the mountains; the Rail Trail from Bédarieux to Mazamet alongside the Orb and Jaur Rivers; through Castres and on…
#73 Monegros and the Sub-Pyrenees
eBiking East across northern Spain, through the flat Monegros semi-desert and then through the lush hills of the Sub-Pyrenees to the rugged Costa Brava coast on the Mediterranean.
#72 El Cid country and the Ribera del Duero
Salamanca, with its perfectly preserved Roman and 16th century buildings paid for by conquest, and then east across the meseta, the high plains of Castilla y Léon.
#71 The Picos de Europa and the Meseta
Cycling by eBike across the Picos de Europa mountain range from Santander and then onto the broad flat open plateau of La Meseta to Salamanca.
#70 Somerset and Devon
After a couple of weeks off the eBike in Wexford, Ireland, I cycle to Rosslare Europort and take the ferry to Wales and a train to Bristol to cycle across Gloucestershire, Somerset and Devon to Plymouth through some Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
#69 The East Coast of Ireland
My eBike tour around the Island of Ireland continues: I cycle Northern Island’s Irish Sea coastline south from Giant’s Causeway to Belfast, then continue on to the Republic of Ireland and Dublin and finally take an inland route to Yoletown in County Wexford.
#68 The North Coast of Ireland
I continue my eBike tour around Ireland: the north coast from Sligo in the Republic to the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland, still closely following the Wild Atlantic Way.
