First Ride Out

Stick to the posted limits in 30s and 40s for sure and be wary on roads that invite high speeds.

Cheers for the info mate. During the summer (or what we had on it) there was distinct absence of police. I'd begun taking it for granted that they can't be bothered so this is good to know.

I wouldn't know where to start with the route, I think I'll leave it up to someone who knows Wales better haha.

How long do you chaps go out for on a ride?

This looks OK, only gone to Aber before so from their onwards would be new to me.

looks good, all these roads are new to me and I would definitely like to check out the roads round the Brecons at some point

For a group ride with people coming from south, you probably wanna take the A4112 to Brecon and then a circuitous route, taking the A483 back to Leo. 5 hours is about right on a good day. But you can do as much or as little as you like/leave off wherever's convenient for you.

An easy route is A4112, A438, A40 to Llandovery. Good stopping point and then several routes to either the coast or into the mountains. For a more spectacular route its A470 all the way north baby! But this is a whole day affair so weather must be spot on.

Sounds good, who wants to get this organised?
