CMCCC Difficulty – 5/5
What a ride, toughest by far this year, five riders made their way from Caldicot over Cats Ash, Usk, Nantyderry, Llanellen before reaching the foot of the infamous Tumble climb at Llanfoist. Following a short break to get some food and drink on board and the last opportunity to back out, it was up hill all the way to Keepers Pond and the summit of this 4 mile 10% average climb. With a stop for photos and a bit of back=slapping, you made our way downhill through Blaenavon and Pontypool eventually reaching Usk for a stop at Cafe 49 to consume some well deserved cakes and coffee. A good day was had by all, slightly spoiled by a mechanical issue for Dave Whittle on the Cats Ash climb. Still we all survived to fight another day.
