Thinking about a few days down in South Wales (Tues afternoon, Wed and Thurs morning). I’ll be travelling from North Wales and am thinking riding Brechfa in the afternoon and a first night stay in Brecon. After that no firm thoughts. I know South Wales fairly well, but it’s been a while. I have a trip end of July for BP Wales so less fussed about that. Gap, Black Mountains, Afan, Cwmcarn…? What say you?

Pop in to Cwm Rhaeadr for a quick lap after Brechfa. It’s only a half hour red loop, but it’s a hoot.

Cwm Rhaeadr

+1, I think I did 4 laps with a broken* arm and rigid forks it’s that good! It’s not anywhere enar a 45min lap, half hour if you take the climb very easy.

*freshly plated by the surgeon about 10days ago, out of the cast on the Tursday, riding at the weekend. Bloody stupid idea.

A broken arm 😯

Good call on Cwm Rhaeadr. Never got there when I lived in South Wales. More than happy to go back to old trails (friends), it’s just a case of which.
