Hey guys,
Just thought I would share a few pics I took today. As I was on my own I thought I would go for a gentle ride over the Brecon Beakons.
My route took me from Bridgend to Cardiff on the M4, then to Merthyr Tydfil on the A470 where I joined the A473 and the Beakons.
Some of the most perfect biking roads in the country.... and it was really quiet which is a huge bonus!
I travelled from Brecon to Llandovery then onto Llandillo. Next was Ammanford then Back onto the M4 to Bridgend.

Highly recommended to anyone lucky enough to live within easy reach of the Beakons, its right on my doorstep and its sad how little I get up there.

Cheers, Graham.

I can also vouch for these roads! I'm in cardiff and head up the A470 every time its dry - best thing is it never gets boring, there are so many different routes to follow when you're up that way. I feel really lucky to have it so close.....now, if we could just get it to stay dry for more than 1 day at a time!! (The A4059 over the top of the mountain and then the A4061 down to Treorchy are awesome!)

next time you are off over the beacons post a note here.. im local to the beacons as well and love riding them as often as poss,, Anyone not familiar with them should make the effort to get there as soon as the crappy weather abaits.. watch out for the plod up there every saturday and sunday (usually behind bushes by the reservoir)
