    i'd not but 'breacon' into your sat nav so you can find the place to start with :wink: and if you're going to shorten it they're called the beacons, not the brecons :wink:

    i only know one real ride up there and it's the most popular, called the gap. but there is a lot of fireroad in that ride.

    there's a bike shop in town called bi-ped. i'd say that'd be your best port of call or have a look here
