Richard..i live in Rhayader. My usual ride is over the old mountain road (Devils Bridge) to Aber and back along the main road (Llangurig)....great ride!!!!
When you're in Aber pop in the Ship & Castle for a pint (I think it's reverted back to that). I've walked much of the Elan valley, but cycling it would be something else. I'm envious
