I'm staying down in the Brecon Beacons for a few days with my road bike. Don't know that part of the world, so looking for some recommended road routes:

- starting from Pontsticill (just north of Merthyr Tydfil)
- hill climbs wanted 🙂
- anything from 30 - 80/90 miles
- quiet roads (avoiding the worst of the bank holiday traffic!)

Any advice appreciated (including the best cafe stops 🙂 )

Mrs Stoner did a loop with the Tewkesbury Tri bunch last year down that way. I'll see if she has a gpx or something.

EDIT: sorry cant find it. She prob didnt have her garmin with her. 🙁

Thanks for checking anyway.

Any other suggestions from folks? (Doesn't have to be a garmin route, just a general description will do)

Ta 🙂

Loads of good roads around there.

What about part of the [url= http://www.bikely.com/maps/bike-path/Gospel-Pass ]Gospel pass audax route[/url] - you could start from Brecon area, take back roads to Hay on Wye and then up the pass (epic!) and back round via Aber & Crickhowell?

Otherwise, link up some B roads and off you go!
