I have been riding here,on my Boardman Road bike,and my Spesh. mtb for years and years...i have lived in Elan Village for a few years with my wife,and now i live in Somerset,i miss this place so much...best place in the world for me,so many happy memories,cycling here......thanks for this video..

[@bikeradar]

It really is a great ride, the Mountain road from Rhayader to Aberystwyth is stunning

[@TopseyKretts]

its the best!

Trust us, the camera doesn't even begin do it justice. The Elan valley is world class in terms of natural beauty and the Victorian dams only enhance it.

..and the MTBing is even better here...check out the monks trod...Strata Florida to Abbey Cwm Hir,and back,through Elan Valley...loop of about 63 miles...follows the old moorland trail,that the monks walked,from abby to abby...truly stunning riding,with barely any tarmac...

Love the Welsh cake. In all seriousness I thoroughly enjoyed that. I usually hike and have hiked the Cambrians yet this unique view appeared as exciting. Good going. All the best. Mark
