Headed down to mid-Wales with a mate to ride this route that we'd seen in the Guardian a few months ago, from Dave Barter's Great British Bike Rides book.
Drove up Friday night, stayed in b&b in Rhayader, then hit it early doors Saturday. Absolutely blessed with the weather, and the roads were virtually deserted. Came out as 170km on my computer, but feels much longer as some of the climbs are vicious.
A great ride if you can stomach the drive from London and back again.
