The planned ride to Newport Wetlands had to be cut short due to severe cold weather and a re-route via Bishton to the Rose Inn at Redwick was made.
Five members made the trip leaving the Choir Hall, through the castle on onwards to Caerwent via Sandy Lane. The group followed the A48 towards Five Lanes with Grahame Morton hitting the deck along the cycle track, couldn’t get his feet out of the spd pedals. On over Carrow Hill to Magor, past the Brewery and down the lane at Wilcrick towards Bishton before ducking very low under the railway. Past Wilkinsons and then onto Redwick where a welcome cup of coffee and a Fredo warmed the cyclist before the last push towards home against the biting wind – somebody said it was -7 with the wind factor!
Newport Wetlands will have to wait for a warmer, dryer and windless day.
Distance covered: 22 miles
Riders:
