Fast 49 miler

This is a speedy ride specifically for road bikes. Aprox speeds are 16 -18mph on the flat and about 12-14 mile average over the distance. The ride leaves The Green Cafe in Caerleon at 11am heads out to Usk along the Bulmore Road and then on to Abergavenny where we will stop for a comfort break. 2 miles later we're at the base of the tumble for 6k of 10% climbing. After the Tumble we head back to Llanbadoc via Llandegfedd Reservoir and then return to Caerleon along the Usk Road. As well as the mighty Tumble there a few good hills especially round the reservoir to test yer mettle! This ride has a specific audience 1) Are you confident to cycle this distance, have you done it recently? 2) Are you confident with the speed and can you maintain it for 4 hours? 3) Do you own a road bike? If its Yes to the above then Please bring lights, brights, and your puncture repair kit and I'll see you on the start line :-)
