We head of Caerwent and use the cycle paths and quiet lanes as we head out towards and climb to Shirenewton using the longer shallow route. From Shirenewton, we continue to climb and undulate until we reach the farm shop at the highest point of the ride. After a well earned rest, we have a gentle ride along the top of the crest and then enjoy a couple of miles of downhill through a peaceful valley before a short sharp climb back into Shirenewton. This is the hardest but shortest climb so you may need to walk it. We are then rewarded with a lovely downhill as we head back to Caerwent.

A hilly challenging but rewarding route with a lovely cafe stop at the top of the climbing.

This is a hilly route using a mix of quiet lanes and traffic free cycle paths. Most of the hills are not overly steep but more a case of long and slow.

Our main stop is at the farm shop and café in Newchurch. We will also stop and regroup at the top and bottom of each hill.

Please wear a helmet and bring some money for the cafe stop. Also bringing along a spare tube would be a good idea.

We never leave anyone behind
