Dirty Weekend Brecon June 10th/11th/12th - 2011

[Banjo]

Not sure how many (if any) are interested in doing a road ride on the weekend so I intend to enter the Brecon Beacons 100 km audax on the saturday.

You dont need to be an Audax member to do the ride .

Start / Finish is in Brecon so only about 5 miles from the campsite.

Good plan banjo doesn t seem much interest in a road ride. I was planning to get to the site thurs night but will probably be early Fri morning. To start the ride at 10.am Fri. sat will be an 8.am start if thats OK with the mtb boys ?

Had a Great couple of days thanks to DS and Banjo, how did the Audax go Graham? hope your performance wasn t compromised by the beer fri. night ?

great thanks Mark. The early morning ride down the A470 Brecon to Merthyr was stunning. very little traffic puff up to Story Arms then Fly down past the reservoirs.
Rest of ride very scenic. Another amazing descent from the top of thje hill between LLangynwdr and Beafort down the minor but well surfaced road into Llangattock. Very enjoyable ride.

Enjoyed the beers Friday night and sitting outside watching the tropical sunset Didnt seem to slow me down too much. Hope your second day mountain biking went well .

It did thank you one small mechanical always going to happen as Id mentioned before how reliable my cranks had been, and one small off which seemed to amuse DS no end !

The ditch didn't seem that bad, I reckon if you didn't stop before it wouldn't have been an issue

 

[lukesdad]

Checked the bike over last night 2 broken spokes on the back less pork pies and pints i reckon

 

[DrSquirrel]

Is that the result of the clicking sound?
