Llanrumney over the hill to Fourteen locks

Our destination is the Fourteen Locks Canal Centre and Cafe on the Crumlin arm of the Monmouthshire Canal, situated at the top of the Cefn flight of locks, an engineering wonder of the industrial revolution.

This is a relatively short but hilly ride from Llanrumney out into the lanes, climbing up and over to drop down into Bassaleg. After crossing the River Ebbw, and the A467 via a footbridge (half a dozen steps up and down to negotiate), there is another climb up to the canal path and a short ride on to the Fourteen Locks Canal Centre. After a stop we will retrace our steps to Bassaleg and from there cycle via Dyffryn and Marshfield along country roads passing the reens and back to the start.

We will stop at the top of the bigger hills for a quick breather!
We'll be riding mainly on quiet suburban roads and country lanes, with a short stretch on canal towpath.
We'll have a stop at Fourteen Locks, approx 30 min, refreshments available from the cafe, or bring your own. Toilet available, voluntary donation to centre if not a customer.

Bring money/card if you wish to buy refreshments, a spare tube, and your helmet.
We never leave anyone behind :)
