Golden hour miles through the Gwent lanes ☀️🚴♂️
Post-work spin taking in Bassaleg, Michaelstone-y-Fedw, Draethen, Rudry and Maesycwmmer before rolling home via the Sirhowy Country Park. 45km of sunshine, scenery and soul-reset.

Finished work. Grabbed the bike. Chased the sun through the Bassaleg lanes ☀️
