Wales and Brecon Beacons

[gymwitch]

A few of the scooter gang have bikes so we are off on a group tour tomorrow. The pic is our first day !!! Setting off at 7am. Stop at Ponderosa for breakie and then hit some gorgeous scenery. Our neighbour has just returned to biking and is also joining us. 

I'll post more pics and routes as we go. 

Really looking forward to this as its been a bit of a long slog recently with one thing and another.

Weathwr looks awesome too, just hope theres room on campsites !!!

Presently sat in campsite only afew miles from the ponderosa cafe.

 

No one else here deciding which loop to ride today. Not going far as daughter will be in the back and is struggling with the heat.

However a relaxed ride is never a bad ride.

Hi @gymwitch when you are in Hay do check out the gospel pass if you get the chance.

Oh and the pub by the toll bridge does a nice lunch in the riverside garden as well.

Cheers

Wow !!! That was an epic adventure for sure !!! 

 

Day 1 we headed to Whitesands campsite at St Davids Bay with a few stops along the way. One of our group left us at Aberystwyth and went back home due to work commitments. That left 5 riders and 1 pillion. Later that evening Leroy joined us as he had to work so we were back to our original 6 riders. The campsite was basic and we rode to the top field. The wind was howling during the night !!! Awesome view though. 3 of us went for a dip in the sea when we arrived. The heat was tremendous.

Andy and i spoke to a local couple and they suggested we went to Elan Valley the next day so...

 

Day 2. Consisted of a ride over the Brecon Beacons and on to Elan Valley. We stopped at a campsite there where there was a river which i had to go in. On my own this time

 

Day 3 we rode around Elan Valley and the views were just epic. We called in at the Ponderosa cafe for brunch before heading home.

Epic weekend with awesome company. The weather couldnt have been better. Truly feeling blessed !!!
