Tried Strava?
https://www.strava.com/segments/explore#location/breacon/type/cycling/min/0/max/5/surface/undefined/center/51.836906,-3.365414/zoom/11/map_type/terrain
Pick a segment and see where the riders went

Probably best giving an idea how how far, long and technical you want

Google search for Brecon Gap Ride. Various GPX about on it. Circular route, though I believe it's better clockwise but people do it either way. I've only done the clockwise route and was great fun.

Gap Ride fits the bill. Around that distance and 3hrs.

e.g. http://www.mudandroutes.com/the-brecon-beacons-the-gap-by-daveroberts-13112011/

There are loads of GPX about for it, which might vary a little if people go off course, and start can be wherever you like really. I think it originally came from MBR.
