hey mate - great video, looks like a cracking route and i want to do it myself next week, do you have a link to your strava or a link to somewhere you have shared the gpx file? i checked your facebook page that you mentioned in a comment here but couldnt find it. a link to the strava ride of this would be great, cheers
Hi Colin, I wish I could attach the file here but I cant find a way to do it. I do put all my files on local facebook riding group called 'Crychan and Halfway Forest Riders' - you are welcome to download it from there
Its weird Pete, when I rode it I never gave it a thought, didn't bother me at all but when I watched it back, it looks really scary :D possibly the gopro making it look worse than it is..
hey thanks for putting that up there along with the GPX. Good work doing it all in one day. Which way would you recommend doing the route? from Brecon to Talybont Usk to Pontsticill (clockwise) etc.. or anti-clockwise? Did your team have any problems with foot stiles or unrideable uphill bit (apart from that moment in the vid up the rocks) Thanks!
yea we went the way it suggests in the video, starting in Brecon and ending up at Pontscill and back to Brecon. there were no difficult stiles that I can recall, just the usual amount of gates.. enjoy !
nice vid but confused as to where the climb is that was next to the fence in the first part of the vid? I have looked at the strava link and the only part i can think of is prior to Talybont on Usk? can you clarify please? The OS map doesn't look like its at that point? thanks
I think I know the bit you mean, the narrow part that winds around the hills on the right with a drop on the left. thats after Talybont and on the way up to Trefil quarry.

Sooooo the trick is to do the whole ride without opening or shutting a gate 😎
exactly, stay mid pack, no opening, no closing :D
Shame about the swearing...
looks brilliant great day out
yes mate! the big mountain rides are long old days but great fun!
Looks like a great ride, can you share the GPX file?
yea Paul, it's shared on a few facebook groups but I wouldnt know how to send it to you on here, if you know a way, let me know!
