Five riders made the start at the Choir Hall on a balmy (for late November) evening, heading down the back lanes to the Rose Inn at Redwick. The evening turned out to be very eventful, the outbound journey saw a crash that nearly saw Tracey swimming in the reen before losing her rear light. Then it was two punctures (well one puncture and the spare tube was useless as well) for Carolyn, our blushes spared by a local cyclist in Undy who went home and whipped the tube out of his wife’s bike! Thank you the kind gentleman from Undy, how is he going to explain that!
Finally we arrived at the Rose some forty-five minutes behind schedule. We all deserved a beer (or two) and a hearty meal by the roaring fire.
Time to make the return trip, surely this is going to be ok! – Ah-ah, on the motorway bridge at Rogiet once we had said farewell to Rob, Sue and Carolyn’s lights gave out leaving them to ride the dark lanes back to Caldicot following the others lights. All was going well until Sue took a tumble on the new access path to Caldicot Station finishing off a very eventful, but enjoyable evening.
