June Social Rideout

Pace: Progressive

Distance: 220 miles

Ride Leader: Gemma

Start Time: 9:30AM

Finish: 5PM

For June we are going to stretch our riding muscles and ride out to Wales. I’ve removed the offroading section and landslide from last years and replaced with some qualilty A roads.

This is one of the longer rides in our calendar but it’s well worth the trip to ride these roads. We will start out from the Esso Garage just off the M4 at 9:30AM and dash up the M4 and make our way over the bridge to Chepstow.

From there we head onto the B-roads towards Usk and reach our first stop  Bafflehaus for a spot of coffee. Before heading into the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecons) via the A40 and A479 and onto LLyswen for a quick petrol stop (approx 95 miles) and leg stretch.

We’ll head a little further north, staying on the twisty A roads and then cut east on the A481 towards Leominster. If the weather is good we will aim to have lunch at Dom’s Bike Stop around 2PM.

After lunch we make our way back fairly directly skirting Gloucester then Cirencester before making a straight run down just past Swindon to finish back at the Esso garage of the M4. If all goes well we should get here before 5PM.
