Another excellent ride with the boys from the Choir Cycle Club. Five members braved the very windy conditions which made cycling up the A48 very difficult.

After meeting at the Choir Hall, it was a trip through Caldicot Castle grounds before climbing-up Sandy Lane and on to Caerwent. A long struggle against the wind along the A48 passing Penhow Castle perched on the cliff-top, before turning off the main road to head uphill to Llandevaud passing Pencoed Castle. From there it was downhill through the lanes that were streaming with water before reaching Llanmartin. Another uphill climb past Underwood and on to Bishton before taking the flat-roads to Redwick and the Rose Inn. A cup of coffee and it was back on the bikes through Undy and Rogiet being pursued by some very dark clouds, just managing to get home before a rainstorm.

Riders: Nick Powell, Spike Hughes, Grahame Morton, Barry Morton, Tony Griffiths
