Gaer LLwyd - A
mid-week ride.
5/07/01
We met at 7.00pm at the usual place, the Blackout junction near Newbridge on Usk. The weather was warm but changeable as we cycled up the steep hill to Wentwood, my training/touring bike was feeling more comfortable with its 23mm tyres. We cycled along the edge of the wood with the birds singing on that Wednesday evening. We soon arrived at the Gaer Llywd crossroads, here we took the lane to view the church at Newchurch. After viewing the surroundings we had a quick blast to Usk, where we saw a barbecue outside one of the pubs. After stopping in the shop for a drink we quickly rode home our traditional route through Prescoed, Coed y Paen and Treherbert road..30 miles.
