start in kidderminster then head up the a456 untill it meets the a49. follow this to leominster, then take the a44 to rhayader(stopping at crossgates cafe for a drink), then the a470 to llangurig then the a44 to aberystwyth(both roads a470 and a44 have some excellent twisties). an alternative is to take the road left signposted a4120 devils bridge just after the dyffryn castell pub and stop at the bridges or woodlands cafe. also the halfway inn along this road used to be bike friendly. follow this to aberystwyth.
the return is from aberystwyth take the a44 to llangurig again this time take the a470 to llanidloes then the a489 to newtown. from here take the a489 to craven arms(harry tuffins cafe is a good stop). turn left at the mini roundabout onto the b4368 follow this to morville then the a458 to bridgnorth and back to quatt and the cafe.
this is probably a popular route if the amount of bikes you see on a sunny sunday are anything to go by. but its just a nice few hours out on nice roads with stunning scenery.
enjoy. 
ps, think ive waffled on a bit. |
That route , take's in some of my favourite road's too ...
Normally head toward's Llandovery A40 , on'twards Builth Wells A483 , turn off at Beulah B4358 & head to Newbridge on Wye (got to be one of the best biking road's ever !!! ) . A470 to Rhayader , on to Llangurig & A44 to Aberystwyth ...
Normally av a cuppa & complete the above in reverse ...
