Figure of eight ride to Newchurch farm shop

We will head out of Caerwent along the cycle path and then join the quiet lanes to make the slow steady climb to Shirenewton. A little more climbing along the road rewards us with some great views and a downhill before a final steady climb to the cafe stop.
After a well-earned rest, the route gently undulates out towards Devauden before heading back mostly downhill towards Shirenewton. A short sharp climb back up to the village is then rewarded with a long downhill back to Caerwent.

A recce ride to test out a new potential midweek Breeze route. A figure of eight loop from Caerwent to Newchurch with some hills and plenty of views. We will test out the farm shop cafe in Newchurch too. 20 miles with 1300ft of elevation gain.

The route is a mixture of lanes, cycle paths and minimal main roads. There are some longer steady hills and a few shorter sharper ones.

Our main stop is at the halfway point in Newchurch to sample the wares at the farm shop cafe. We will also stop and regroup at the top and bottom of the hills or part way on the longer ones

Please make sure you have a helmet and suitable clothing. Please bring money and a lock for the rest stop along with a spare tube in case you get a puncture.

We never leave anyone behind
