Hi,

I’m off to Harper Adams uni this week which is near Newport and I was wondering what the riding is like

It’s no where near Newport :p

Alright lets say the Newport in Shropshire

I was through Newport Shropshire at weekend, I specifically chose a route through there coz it was so flat & I was cycling 100 miles. If you like flat riding then follow the old railway line into Stafford (look for the green line on the sustrans route map) lovely track. But if you want anything decent then bike in car and get to Cannock chase, probably only 30 mins or so OR the long mynde the other way probably about the same.

How long would it take to cycle to Cannock or Long mynde? I do have a car but would prefer not to use that if I can help it

I was going to say. There’s no universities on the Isle of Wight…

Ride Cannock about an hour each way.

If driving In order of what I would go to first:
1:Long myndd
2:Eastridge
3:Cannock

There is a Newport Cycling club and a uni club so i’ll join them and see where they go.
