What started out as a gentle 20 mile ride to Whitson, turned into a 37 mile marathon getting lost between Nash and Goldcliff. Those lanes all look the same. Never mind, it was more miles in the saddle and it will help Alyn and the girls prepare to take on the Taff Trail for the second time later this month.
Here is the route and data from the ride. You can even see were we got lost!
Well done everybody. Map reading lessons needed obviously. Another couple of miles would have taken you into Lliswerry where you could have had a cuppa at my mother’s and caught the bus home. Lyn
