The ride sets out from the car park and turns onto Abergavenny Road. We ride along here until just after the chainbridge and then we turn left and then right to make use of the little lane running alongside the mainer road for a short while. Then we rejoin the main road and continue until the right turn just after we cross the river. At the end of that lane, we turn right and then left to head to Llanarth. Just as we enter the village, we turn right and head to Great Oak. After that village, we continue to follow the lane until we rejoin the Old Raglan Road just past the garden centre.
Once we have had our lunch, we continue along the Old Raglan Road to Raglan and then, in the middle of Raglan, we turn right and cycle past the Farm Park. Just as we start to climb the nasty looking hill ahead, we turn right and go past the gliding club. Then, we turn right and head along the road back towards Usk before turning left onto the flood route. At the end of this section, we turn right and head back along the road to Usk.

This is the old version of the Tour De Gwent bronze with a few little tweaks.

This is a pure road riding route though they are mostly country lanes with some stretches on B roads.

We will stop at Raglan garden centre for lunch at around the halfway point.

Please wear a helmet and bring along some money and a lock for our lunch stop. It is also a good idea to carry a spare tube just in case.

We never leave anyone behind
