Yorkshire to south wales , , which way??

rightie oh then,

on sunday morning (early ) im looking to ride from Leeds to Aberdare sth Wales,

id rather avoid the motorways on the way down , so which is going to be the most enjoyable way down??,

i was thinking maybe make my way accross to chester and then sth, but theres a few diff routes , are any of them particularily good biking roads..even if i have to make a litle diversion to get to them its not a massive prob...........

i await your knowledgeable insight

i do this a fair bit,

go through wales

wrexham
oswestry
welshpool
newtown
rhayader
llandrddod wells
buith wells
brecon
merthyr
aberdare

(you going to aberdare park?)

yeah going to aberdare park, im originally from cwmamman (2ml from aberdare), so i thought i might combine going down for a family visit with a little racing................. never been down on the bike so im keen to see some good roads.

what about doing a bit of a detour through the peak district, I live next door to it and it's gorgeous and great for biking!
