Three Rivers ride?

[Mike]

So iv been looking at my map of Brecon to see about doing a route and iv noticed theres this route called the three rivers ride. Who knows anything about it (ian) where does it start/end, how long is it and has anyone rode it.is it worth a look, it looks like it follows so good tracks.

Don't know much about it, it's a long distance pony trekking route so is all legal for bike riding, unless there are any 'no bikes' permissive bits (unlikely). I've ridden bits of it in the Black Mountains as part of other routes and they've been mostly rideable; anyone who's ridden bridleways used by pony trekkers in the Black Mountains will know what I mean by 'mostly'! Haven't looked to see where it starts or finishes but it's a multi-day route. Ian??

Interesting. The bits I've ridden are further west than that ride, close to Bwllch, Llangorse and Talgarth. I notice that link refers to the Hereford 3 Rivers Ride, maybe something with a similar name or maybe just part of the total route?

Mike, the Epynt Way might be more up your street. 80k mainly on BW around the Sennybridge MOD training area.

I seem to remember Ian saying some of the Epynt way was worth forgetting.
Loads of mud.

I like the look of those trails, cheers Stu i will be taking a look on the fatbike sometime soon. Ive also found a route north of the Wye starting at Llowes its 16mile ish and looks good has anyone ridden this area?? its over Glasbury hills.

There are miles of good tracks and trails over Llanbedr Hill and the area to the north of there up towards Kington (all just to the north of Llowes and Glasbury).

Tussocks. Lots and lots of tussocks.

Three Rivers - I'll have a look at the map, but don't recall seeing it. Which three rivers are they? Wye, Usk and ???

I revisited this area recently. Lovely place. Dead peaceful, with great trails.

Quite a lot of redundant farm machinery lying about the place too, if you like that sort of thing.
