Distance: 15 miles – Climbing: 785 feet – Weather: Cloudy
The latest pub ride saw seven riders leave the Choir Hall, and head for Shirenewton via Crick and Hayes Gate. The long climb up the lane opposite the New Inn at Pwllmeyric, interrupted by the usual farm dog who takes great pleasure in chasing cyclists, to arrive at the Tredegar Arms in the village.
Mine host, Gareth Trumper and his charming partner made us very welcome, we sat down to lashings of pies, selection of fish, with of course chips, washed down with real ale and cider. We were joined at the pub by Janet Vale who had cycled from Chepstow to meet us, and by Tony Ward who could not make the start at Caldicot, but joined us for the meal.
With hunger cravings satisfied, and goodbye’s said, it was time to speed back along the lanes, enjoying stunning views of the Severn Estuary back to Caldicot.
