Nice little gravel section, quite fast both up and down with a few potholes and squirelly bis to keep you on your toes. Keep it loose and lithe...

May 27, 2023,Gravel heaven short loop

Great loop from Pen-y-fan pond car park, which is free. Route follows cycle route 466 to Ebbw Vale before turning off towards Manmoel via the mountain. Gravel or mtb. Leave the road bike at home.

August 20, 2023,Sunday zone 1 & 2 ride

Filled in some of the rockier bits of road on mamoel ascent. Much smoother gravel now.
