Default The black mountains - Brecon Beacons - ride out!

I went from cwmllynfell through to llangadog (acording to the gf) over the mountains.

all i can say is wow!! tight, technical, but not too difficult (I thought it was easier to ride than the Perbright twisties) great views and view of the road. on the way over there was not a single car on the road. not one!

really enjoyed it and so did the gf. I will go back tomorrow morning for another little blast in the sun! and this time we will bring a camera!!

My only regret is that Wales isnt sunny more often!!

there is some nasty black stuff there, but other than that the surface isnt that bad IMO considering where it is
