Most of the main A roads around Brecon are great RT roads.

If you want to wander over to the coast you could visit Aberaeron via Llandovery on the A482 then up the coast to Aberystwyth on the A487.

Carry on to Devils Bridge on the A4120 then down to Tregaron on the B4343 through Llanddewi Brefi (apparently there a gay in that village) turn left on the A482 back to Landovery and A40 back to Brecon.

To be honest mid-Wales has no motorway and limited dual carriageway so just look for wiggly bits and you won't go too far wrong.

Most of the B roads are also great roads, my advise is to just get a map and explore, just make it up as you go along.

Another good road is the A483 between Crossgates and Newtown.

Also good roads across the borders around Ludlow, Kidderminster.

A roads are great but be warned on a sunny weekend expect a lot of company.

Hope you have a great visit.

Places to visit:-

Depends what your into but I'll try and group a few options:

Sightseeing:-

The coast is beautiful you've got from Mumbles in Swansea all the way around to St David's Cathedral and up the West cost to the Llyn Peninsular.

Snowdonia national Park easily done in a day visit from Brecon.
If your into walking your spoilt for choice.

Castles galore just look them up on the web.

City's well if you must I'd recommend Cardiff.

Biker spots:

Abergavenny Bus stop
Llandovery Westend Cafe
Aberystwyth Prom
Mumbles Swansea
Brecon Beacons Storey Arms (1 Mile North) A470
Crossgates

Pm me if you fancy Llyn (or Snowdonia, really) and would like a guide. I'm retired so not restricted to weekends.

Personal favourite of mine is the A4069 from Brynamman to Llangadag on the Western side of the Beacons National Park. Its a stunning road with views to match!

Make sure you have plenty of money, a tad on the dear side and now they have a pay and display, or has that always been there

Camping, bunkhouse and B&B really good spot in the middle of the best roads and good food and beer to boot, you must book as weekends get VERY busy!

If you see lots of bikes on the road with you - be aware it will be well policed with cameras.

Excellent B&B

SWMBO and I stayed here in March. Fantastic room, fist class breakfast. Probably not a good base unless the Gower is as far as you want to go. Lots of good beaches and stuff. The local pub is OK too (especially the whisky!)

not a bad place to start from though.
