Magor to Caerleon the long way round - new café stop

The route heads out of Magor to Redwick so nice and flat to get the legs going. Then once we reach Bishton, we start to get a bit lumpy. There is a short climb after the crematorium as we head to Langstone. A gentle downhill ride along the cycle path takes us to the first major climb as we go up to reach the Catsash road. Once here we have another climb to get up and behind the Celtic Manor. A bit further along this road we reach the turning to Caerleon and head down Belmont Hill to the river. Once over the river, we use the cycle paths to get to the coffee shop.
After our rest stop, the route is fairly flat. We head out of Caerleon towards Newport using the cycle path. Then we follow the cycle route along the side of the river to reach the bridge. We go over the bridge and then along Corporation Road to the path through the woods. Once out the other side, we follow the lanes to the distribution centres and then on through Llandevenny and back into Magor.

A nice scenic figure of 8 ride to check out the new coffee shop in Caerleon.

The route does use some traffic free sections, mostly on the way back. The rest is a mix of quiet lanes and some busier roads. There are also 2 climbs to conquer and a steep descent into Caerleon so you need to be comfortable tackling these.

We will stop in Caerleon for refreshments and also at the top and bottom of the hills to regroup.

Please wear a helmet and bring some money/lock for the coffee stop. Also it is always a good idea to carry a spare tube just in case.

We never leave anyone behind
