Distance : 15 miles – Riders : 3 – Weather : Very cold and icy
Arctic conditions faced the three brave venturers, who made the treacherous ride to Redwick, spurred-on by the thoughts of Hobgoblin and chips at the Rose Inn. They were welcomed at the pub by fellow cycling, more sensible friends (Kirstie Benjamin, Sue Earnshaw and Chris Nolan) to enjoy a drink, some food and a general natter. Food scoffed, drinks consumed, it was time for the three mad-persons to don the lycra, and become moving icicles on the road back to Caldicot.
Spare a thought for Neil and Helen Gilmore who were expected to make the start, but had their bikes stolen from the car at St. Cadoc’s Hospital.
Riders:
- Tony Griffiths
- Carolyn Griffiths
- Robert Stallard
