Well, I managed to sneak out with a couple of friends this afternoon for about three hours of very pleasant, mostly back roads riding (no goat tracks were used or harmed during this ride!). I found a cracking piece of road I had forgotten about, between Llanfair Caereinion, Adfa, Carno, and Caersws. Next time we get together for a ride I’ll work it into the route.

The ride reminded me that you don’t always have to make for the mountains for good roads. The route we took was a great mix of high moorland and wooded lowlands, with some really spectacular scenery, and I was never more than 45 miles from home.
