Long overdue ride today

I think Yen has been working in Wales as there's a lot of crappy adverse cambers 🙂
Headed up the A4067 to Defynnog, A4215 over to the A470 stopped at Terry's burger van for a crappy overpriced burger, tasted OK though, headed south to pick up the "sheep mountain road" (A4059)past Hirwaun and up Rhigos mountain, dropped down the other side into Treherbert and Treorchy, up the Bwlch Mountain (no bloody icecream van 😞 ), through Abergwynfi and into Pontrhydyfen, under the Aqueduct and on to Cimla, Neath then home, 85 miles in all
Scooter was great hitting an indicated 80mph on some mountain roads and nearly a ton up on the small stretch of motorway on the last leg to home, but I think Yen made the speedos on these as that clearly isn't right the wind on my gonads disagrees with the indicated figures 😉 

Scoot handles great, very pleased with how it's solid even in strong winds.

Disclaimer, all photos are crappy phone shots as although I had a proper camera with me I couldn't be arsed to get it out, I could just be arsed to get my phone out of my pocket so I did my best with that

Also, the photos seem to have arranged themselves in any old random fashion they felt like

 

Pontrhydyfen, the home of Sir Richard Burton and I think Anthony Hopkins or some other Welsh bloke who sold his soul to join the Hollywood pussies: Tom Jones is from near here too as is Rob Brydon and a Welsh lady who made some cakes and inventively named them Welsh Cakes DUH!
