I haven't spoken to anyone who seemed interested in doing this but I want to so I'm putting it out there. I've never been to the Brecon Beacons and the Devil's Elbow, Gospel Pass and pretty much all the lanes look great. I couldn't work out a way to do the those climbs from the proper direction without making it tip above 100 miles so I think this might need to finish with an overnight stay in Abergavenny - which tbh could be great fun anyway. While this loop is longer and has more climbing than the last Hard Day in the Peaks, there is on average less climbing per mile so should technically be easier! So who's keen? There are trains that get into Abergavenny for 9:30 so we could roll out pretty much on time but it would be a good idea to have lights with us even though the days are getting longer. I'm thinking mid-summer June / July. If people are desperate to bring gears we can chat this through, too.
I do also have a slightly longer option which tips it above 200km, so if there are audaxer's out there who are interested in some AUK (and definitely some AAA!) point we could organise it as a group DIY, only another 17 miles or so.
