  • MTB
Start/Finish Talybont-on-Usk, OS grid reference SO115225 Total distance 30.6km (19 miles) Total ascent 972m (3200 feet) Time 2.5-4 hours Maps Ordnance Survey Explorers OL12 and OL13: Brecon Beacons National Park Summary In some ways, this route is more challenging than the Classic. It’s shorter but has as many climbs and includes a broader variety of surfaces. Start behind the White Hart Inn. Cross the canal to join the Taff Trail, climbing steadily. At 5.5km, you’ll reach a junction. Follow the wide track ahead, signed to Pontsticill. Continue to climb for about 1.8km. At the top of the steep stepped section, carry straight on by the marker post (the left fork). Continue to the quarries. There are boggy sections, so consider a different route if it’s been wet. At the quarry roads, the bridleway goes straight on – it’s easier to turn right onto the track and follow it as it loops left. Turn right onto the Tarmac then bear right very shortly onto a grassy bridleway. Follow the descent, taking care not to miss the right turn above the reservoir after 2.7km. If you end up above the rock outcrops, you have. Descend to the road, passing under the railway bridge. Turn right, then left across the dam. At the junction, double back right. Follow the road into the forest for 500m. Take the left turn into the woods (signed National Cycle Network 8) and follow the road. Emerge onto Tarmac and turn left to cross the dam. Climb past an outdoor education centre and go through a gate onto a stony track. Cross the road to a narrower trail. At the woods, pass through the gate and carry straight on over moorland to reach the junction by the marker post again. Retrace the trail down the stepped section and descend. At the junction take the left fork and follow it to the Talybont Reservoir track. Head north past the dam before forking right and climbing to regain the Taff Trail back to the start point.
WMB 114 Brecon Beacons Beginner Route ocoutts Sep 8th 2010, 04:14 12.3km
  • MTB
Start/Finish Talybont-on-Usk, OS grid reference SO115225 Total distance 12.4km (7.7 miles) Total ascent 350m (1150 feet) Total time 1-2 hours Maps Ordnance Survey Explorers OL12 and OL13: Brecon Beacons National Park Summary A technically simple spin along the valley side above Talybont Reservoir, but with a reasonably significant climb. The route starts behind the White Hart Inn. Cross the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal to join the Taff Trail, climbing steadily on what should be a good surface. This fi rst stretch is a suitable warm up – take it steady. After 1.5km, fork right and descend to join an easy, wide track. After 500m you’ll pass the dam wall at one end of the Talybont Reservoir. Carry on, following the track alongside the reservoir and then follow the path gradually uphill for about 3.5km. You’ll reach a trail junction roughly level with the top end of Talybont Reservoir, with a signposted bridleway descending to the right. Don’t take that – you need to follow the track opposite, doubling back left and climbing more steeply on a stony track. Continue climbing for 1km. It’s quite steep and stony, but all rideable with suitable gear selection. After 1km, you’ll emerge from the trees and reach the ridge at a junction with a stone bench and finger post. Take a well-earned break. Follow the obvious wide track heading north-east, initially along the ridge (to the right if you’re sitting on the bench). Don’t take the track that forks left and descends into the woods. The trail descends along the path of the old Brinore Tramroad. Eventually, you’ll rejoin the first section of the route, so just retrace your path back to Talybont.
WMB 113 Brecon Beacons Classic Route ocoutts Sep 8th 2010, 04:09 41.3km
  • MTB
Start/Finish Talybont-on-Usk, OS grid reference SO115225 Total distance 41km (25.5 miles) Total ascent 994m (3260 feet) Time 3-5 hours Maps Ordnance Survey Explorers OL12 and OL13: Brecon Beacons National Park Summary A classic in the true sense, this loop takes you on some high-level trails with impressive vistas. It’s technically straightforward with the occasional challenge. In bad conditions, think twice. The route starts behind the White Hart Inn. Cross the canal to join the Taff Trail, climbing steadily. After 5.5km, you’ll reach a junction with a finger post and stone bench. Follow the obvious wide track running straight ahead, signed Pontsticill. Continue to climb for about the next 1.8km . At the top of a steep stepped section, take the right fork by the post. After 2km across moorland, pass through the gate and continue to descend through the woods. Go straight across the forest track and regain Tarmac at Dolygaer. Follow the road across the dam, then turn immediately right to follow the lane along the western shore of Pentwyn reservoir. After about 4km, the Gap track will fork right from the road – do not take this, keep straight. The Tarmac ends and after 500m there’s a steep drop into a stream crossing and a grind out of the other side. It’s loose on the way in and out, so take care. Continue climbing with the Neuadd Reservoir on your left. If visibility is good, you’ll soon see the Gap – the obvious saddle in the ridge ahead –between Cribyn to the left and Fan y Big to the right. Continue to climb until you reach it. Carefully descend the steep top section of the Gap to reach fast, rocky terrain. There’s a cheeky climb before a fast blast to a gate and Tarmac. Take the signed bridleway, following the right-hand fork. Descend to the road, turn left and climb. Take the third left turn and go straight on to a track when the road swings left at the top of the hill. Descend to emerge behind the college in Brecon. Turn right, go straight across the roundabout and turn right again onto the main street. Follow it over the river and turn right (signed National Cycle Route 8) to the end of the canal. Join the towpath and spin back to Talybont for the last 10km.
