The Joy of the Brecon Beacons…
…what a great day for a ride Saturday was. I did one of my favourite loops in the Brecon Beacons. just under 70 miles with a couple of thousand metres of climbing (why do I always have to express distance as imperial and altitude gain as metric?).
The grueling climb up to the Storey Arms was even quite enjoyable for once (it’s not that steep, just long and arduous). The descent down the Devils Elbow near Heol Senni was insane, I nearly overcooked one of the hairpins in my excitement, but just about kept to the tarmac.
It is one of the most picturesque rides I know, and the Malt loaf is working a treat too…
