100 mile ride


Cupid Stunt

Recommended Posts

A little more of a jaunt on the scoot today, just 100 miles but most of that is single track, supermoto style roads
Up over the Blacks again through Llangadog and onto the West End Cafe in Llandovery, an expensive bacon roll and cup of tea (£5.90 robbing bastards)

Then onto the lane up to Llyn Brianne

Overlooking the damn, looks like there's lots of construction work going on there

Anything over 40mph on these roads get's pretty exciting, very tight and twisty but rarely used by cars
Some of the stunning views, my pics don't do it justice

On to the view point, yes I had to ride a little "off piste" to get there

Last stop at Llyn Brianne before moving on

Down the "Devil's Staircase" and onto Abergwesyn Pass, again, tight twisties, gotta be careful here, the road often drops away with hidden dips but these are often immediately followed by a bend, go over the hump too quick and you'll run off the road and down the bank

Into Llanwrtyd Wells (the smallest town in Britain then through Tirabad and onto the Sennybridge ranges, these are military ranges with a road running through them which is mostly open to the public except when they're using live fire maneuvers

They have a fake village in the ranges where they hold exercises

Onto the A40 and turn off at Trecastle to get on the Trecastle road and head South on the East side of the Black Mountain I rode over earlier

Straight down the A4067 to home then, very nice few hours out relaxing and fun at times, especially nearly getting taken out the other side of the blacks by a Lambourghini, Ferrari and Porche none of whom seems to be able to stay on their side of the road when coming round bends< I suspect they were there filming as the road is often used by motoring programs

Brilliant Terry.......bet it's good to get out again? And that Scoot has got a lot of road presence!

Do you know I haven't been to Llyn Brianne since the long hot Summer of 76?

I remember that day well cos one of the boys binned his CB750K6 on the way up there.......for no apparent reason! :classic_unsure:

Fucking hell! Good job I don't have to go there now with @Renegade cos he'd make sure I got caught to pay for it all!

One of my favorite place 👍 @Cupid Stunt Any reason you go to that horrible cafe instead of the Owls nest 

I overshot the Owl's Nest and these scoots have a two mile turning circle LOL, but to be honest I prefer the Sennybridge Cafe over either of them
