NEW FAVOURITE ROAD

[BlueBird]

Hiya

Been riding the roads of Wales for 20 years now on various bikes but I have just discovered a new favourite strech (for the time being)

been on it many many times but recently I have gone out in the week and early morning and had a clear run on it.It was so good I rode it twice.

a483 from Crossgates to Newtown.

If you like yr roads fast and twisty its the bollocks,
plenty of shell gripped corners of all radii.

went for a ride yesterday and ended up doing 369 miles around wales.

05 r1200gs(aka ME109) 55k the best bike I have ever owned bar none and that includes the 3 Hondas I currently own as well.

My mates think thats the dogs dangly bits, I did it for the 1st time in June when we went to the Lakes, I'm very much a novice but can see the attraction, breakfast at Crossgates then a buzz up to Newtown

I agree a superb road. I have not ridden it for a few years as it was getting plod attention! I prefer it from The Newtown end though. A definate power ranger killing zone for a smooth ADV bike rider, oh yes. Shit I may have to give it another go now, I'm in West Wales this weekend a little detour on Sunday may be in order now!!!!!

Its a great road, but frightens the shit out of some folk

Planning a few days in Wales at the end of the month so I`ve added it to the "must do" list.........

I think its better going south than north but who cares - just do it both ways!

I tend to keep it for weekday trips - less bikes, no copters and less chance you'll see a fellow biker in the ditch - not uncommon!

Fantastic Road, although I did pick up a ban back in 2000.

Once you're ridden it a lot,try riding along it at as near to 60mph as you can,no going faster,no going slower.Fookin hard work that

 

[Racoon]

watch out for that wind turbine verny!!!!

Agree with you all...got to be my favourite stretch of road at the moment...either way. Well worth picking the time you ride it too...traffic just kills the ride dead
