Distance: 11 miles – Difficulty: 1/5 – Weather: Very windy

Three riders made the start at the Choir Hall for the short ride to Undy along the gravel track, very windy, it felt like riding uphill. On the return, crossed the A48 at Rogiet to visit the old Windmill, perched on the hill above the village. Great to see Kirstie Nolan out with us again on the bikes.

Distance: 16 miles – Difficulty: 1/5 – Weather: Drizzle

With weather not the best, the advertised ride to the Seawall Tearooms was shortened due to the conditions. Three riders made the start at the Choir Hall, so it was to around the loop at Redwick and into Magor for coffee from the Co-op. The return journey was made through Rogiet and the back lanes to Caldicot.

309 Christmas Cracker

Friday, 27th December 2019

Distance: 14 miles – Difficulty: 1/5 – Weather: Murky

Last ride out of the year saw 5 riders make the start at the Choir Hall, on mountain bikes due to the wet and muddy roads to Mathern. First port of call was Black Rock for the obligatory photograph, then onto Mathern via Crick and Hayes Gate, dodging the yapping sheepdog who took a bite out of Mike’s trousers, and the muddy lanes.

Once at Mathern, it was into the Millers Arms for food, washed down with a pint of beer. Soon it was time to leave, returning to Caldicot via St Pierre hill and Portskewett.
