Amazing descent, wide roads and flowing corners. Well surfaced and plenty of space to get some great lines into the corners. You won't be able to take any photos because you'll be enjoying it too much!

B4293 Climb from Chepstow to Devauden

Highlight • Viewpoint

Rode this in Aug 21 up to Devauden (not down to Chepstow), a steady climb with gorgeous views of nearby valleys and the distant Brecons. Nothing desperately steep and the tarmac is not too bad either!

Did the climb today, which was long but never difficult. In fact, it was very enjoyable and... at long last... the temporary/permanent traffic lights are gone!
