If anyone is interested in a beer festival masquerading as a mountain bike ride, then go to Llanwrtyd Wells next year, as you've just missed this year's. Long fire road uphills with mucky twisty downhills in the countryside over the far side of Brecon. It's the village that holds the Man v Horse, bogsnorkelling, etc, championships. I joined a group of Welsh friends and you basically ride as far as you want on saturday and sunday with real ale checkpoints to keep you fortified. Saturday night in the marquee there are 40 types of beer available. Chili plum ale and winter spice and many others were knew to me. One was even 10o alcohol! Needless to say, some folks didn't ride as far on Sunday.
Good end-of-season fun in a well organised and relaxed manner.
Cheers,
Stephen.
