South Wales day trip

The opportunity of a Friday night and Saturday pass seemed too good to not take advantage of. It was Wednesday, the weather was sunny, and thoughts turned to a cheeky zoom over to South Wales, to practice avoiding sheep on the roads, prior to the Boxertrix North Wales jaunt next month.

I booked in to a nice little B&B near Monmouth for the Friday night, and resisting the temptation to fill two panniers and a top box with gear, set off from work on Friday afternoon chasing the sun to the west.

Friday night, I plotted a nice zig-zagging path across the Brecon Beacons and set off on Saturday morning fuelled up with a hearty breakfast.

The weather was a little grey, but the roads were quiet and a good day's riding was had. My favourite section was at the far west of the Brecons on the mountain road from Brynammam to Llangadog. Had to try that bit out a few times...

Happy days, and roll on Llangollen!

Cheers,

What's the deal with the funny "0"s on the sign?

Review of the R1200RS? It's everything you loved in the R1100S, but turned up to number 11 and a few added gadgets thrown in. It doesn't have a telelever, but other than that is the natural evolution of the R1100S, in my opinion.

Cheers,

Paul
