 |
|
So, on Saturday when my local roads became full of caravans, horse boxes and accidents, I and a mate decided to go off-piste and explore a small part of South Wales. Over the old bridge, off at Chepstow and take the B road to Usk. My God, what a pleasant little chicken that was! Then, up to Monmouth on the A40 and find the other little B road that goes back to Chepstow. Was racetrack smooth, no traffic, no cameras, beautiful countryside etc... Really enjoyed it....
So, can anyone recommend any other 'required riding' (see what I did there?) within quick, easy reach of either of the bridges?
Please? Thankyoumuch.  |

there are some really fun runs around Tintern Abbey way, and all round the Wye Valley is good. If you can get over a bit more, Brecon is a classic run too. ____________________ C̶u̶r̶r̶e̶n̶t̶ ̶b̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶-̶ ̶B̶a̶n̶d̶i̶t̶ ̶6̶5̶0̶s̶ ̶
Its not about the destination, its the journey that counts. |

The route posted from Llandrindod to Newtown is a very good road, and from Newtown heading east is a great setof bends too
This is the best (and scariest) road in Wales shown in the above video:
https://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=Brynamman&daddr=Mountain+Rd%2FA4069+to:Llangadog,+United+Kingdom&geocode=FcCYFgMdq_7E_yn7dKCVCVduSDHydKKyneyzBg%3BFfK0FgMdix_F_w%3BFXOEGAMdl7_E_ylZfHHwik1uSDHo_nEg7szbVQ&hl=en&mra=ls&via=1&sll=51.930718,-3.877487&sspn=0.085526,0.308647&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=11
Another great road a short distance from that one is here:

Google streetview works on it too  ____________________ TL1000s, KDX200 |

That's pretty cool looking corner, is it near Sugar Loaf Mountain?? The one with the flat top?
Check this corner out, from Brynamman road I was talking about.
