A very pleasant ride down to the Sea Wall Cafe on a day that started out with rain, which soon cleared for some beautiful late summer sunshine.
Five riders left the Choir Hall including new member Kaf Faragher from Abergavenny, and we were soon joined by four members from our friends at Newport Social Cycling who had ridden to Caldicot to meet us.
The route saw us leaving Caldicot, dropping down to Caerwent then along the A48 to Five Lanes. From there it was a climb over Carrow Hill before joining St. Bride’s Road to Magor. Up past the Brewery, turning down the lane to Wilcrick and on wards to the Queensway to Newport. From there via Broad Common and Chapel Lane to Goldcliff for a stop at the Seawall Cafe for coffee and cake.
Following our break at the cafe, we said goodbye to our friends from Newport and headed back through Redwick, it seemed wrong not to stop at the Rose Inn and introduce Kaf to it’s fine range of beverages. Whilst there, we were introduced to some magnificent Black Russian Terriers, huge dogs that are used by the Russian Army, who were out on their afternoon stroll.
