Routes

Based around 5 bike hubs (Brecon, Crickhowell, Talybont on Usk, Talgarth & Sennybridge) the fully graded routes range from 8-50km long.
The bike friendly pubs, eateries, wide range of accommodation, parking, outdoor equipment retailers and mountain bike hire create a sense of welcome.

The varying terrain from the tame to the truly extreme provides choice for all experiences.
Having done the routes in one hub, you may want to move on to another hub and stay overnight. Or you might want to try another activity whilst in the greatest outdoor gym in Great Britain!
