Hey, my mum has a house in Llanwnog - which is between Llanidloes and Newtown, near to Caersws. I love this part of Wales!
The lake in the picture is Clywedog, I've been working out different routes up and over towards Mac - through Llanidloes, over to Dylife, also tried going through Llawrglyn up to Staylittle yesterday (nicer at the beginning - but pretty tough towards the top!).
Funny that we've had this house since I was a kid - but not done any road cycling here til recently as I always used to be more into mountain biking when I was younger.
I was here about a month ago with a friend and we rode from here to Ynyaslas, over Clywedog - brilliant ride, really hard on the way back though. I'm really enjoying being here on my own with a bike as it gives me an opportunity to explore a little and also work out some routes for when I come with other people.
I've been to Dinas- but only on car and foot - that climb looks like a right bastard though! Might give it a shot while I'm here - can't be any worse than the Galibier :)
Are you based around here?
