Distance: 7 miles – Difficulty: 1/5 – Weather: Warm
A lovely sunny morning for a bike ride to Black Rock and beyond. Eleven riders made the start that included a tour of Sudbrook, taking in the sites from the riverfront and then from Black Rock. An aborted stop at the David Broome’s Event Centre for coffee, which wasn’t open only to be shouted at by the man himself. Never mind, we will take our trade elsewhere in future. Fortunately enough, the castle had an archery event in the grounds so coffee and cake before returning back to the Choir Hall.

Distance from Caldicot: 45 miles, from Chepstow: 36 miles – Difficulty: 3/5 – Weather: Dry
Only three riders made the start at the Choir Hall, and were joined by another two at the M48 Approach Road in Chepstow. Passing lots of cyclists, and a group of Nordic Road-Skiing group along the quiet lanes to Berkeley, before stopping at the Tearooms for refreshments. Nice to bump into an old workmate, Paul Elder and also Gary Price and a mate from Chepstow Male Voice Choir there also. Soon it was back on the bikes for the long ride back to Caldicot.
