Distance – 32 miles – Difficulty – 3/5
Eight riders made the start at the Choir Hall for this ride over Shirenewton to Usk including new cyclist, Robert Stallard (a Tenor in the choir). By Crick we were down to seven with the withdrawal of Helen Gilmore who was feeling under the weather. Onwards we pressed, taking the high road through Shirenewton and onwards to Gaerllwyd, this was a first for Shirenewton Drag virgins, Tony and Sharon Ward, and Neil Gilmore who came through the challenge unscathed physically!
Once at Usk, it was into Cafe 49 for a well deserved break and refreshments before starting the journey back which only lasted till the car park as Robert’s chain snapped. Team work kicked in and we managed to get him back on board his steed with a shorter chain which he nursed all the way back home.
