Distance : 28 miles – Difficulty : 2/5 – Weather : Sunny
For our away day trip to Newent, we were again blessed with warm, sunny weather for the 28 mile ride around the picturesque, Newent Loop. Six members made the start from the town centre car park, and we were joined by local Sue Tindall who had turned up expecting to join her own clubs ride. Sue filled us in with some interesting local knowledge, pointing out various points of interest., and putting us back on track when we took a wrong turn. Like last year, our coffee stop was in the quirky cafe cum antique shop at Bromberrow Heath. Tea/coffee and flapjacks enjoyed before making our way along the narrow lanes, passing antique gypsy caravans with their ponies grazing on the roadside, back to the start in medieval Newent. Sue also told us about an annual Big Apple Cider ride to nearby Much Marcle, certainly one to put in the diary.
