Ride 317 Millers Arms

Tuesday, 4th August 2020

Distance: 15 miles – Difficulty: 1/5 – Weather: Cloudy

Another pub ride, this time to the Millers Arms in Mathern. Route took us to Sudbrook, looking around the new houses before visiting Black Rock. Over to Crick following back roads to Hayes Gate, crossing the A48 to Mathern and the Millers – despite a long wait to be served, food was great and took advantage of the ‘Eat Out’ Government scheme for Covid-19, although it was nearly dark for the return ride back to Caldicot. Nice to see some of the gang again.
