The Brecon Beacons Gap Ride - Part 1

That classic South Wales ride - from Talybont up the Brinore tramroad, across the moor and down to Pontsticill. Then a short road stretch before joining the old roman road which takes you over The Gap for a stunning downhill , big grins all round!
Look out for the ice, I suppose it's to be expected in February..

Lots of expensive downhill and free ride bikes and no downhill free rider riders!!!!

[blumpher]

@saintlybill so where are your videos showing how good you are? It's more about the journey than some narrow bike genre...

[ProdigyPulsford]

[blumpher]

@ProdigyPulsford thanks!

went dow the other side yesterday at the age of 14 but then fell in the stream when i got off my bike. coming down from the peak is much better down that epic trail

[blumpher]

@mrtristonie yes, tricky bit that, but it's a great Welsh ride...

Cracking tough ride , did this in 1994 and it was a hella of a climb back then. Thanks for sharing and taking the love of mtb riding the time to post it.

i regained the fitness & courage to do this ride on 19/11/11 six months after a brain hemorhage, thanks to people like you who take the time & effort to film your ride & inspire & encourage the rest of us, good on you!

@blumpher well I finally got round to it, apparently it has been sanitised though I still enjoyed myself thoroughly up and down the road. Was a shame so much tarmac to get to and from there, but was gorgeous day for it.
