An evening ride around the wonderful Elan Valley reservoirs in Wales.

Love the Elan valley, never thought of doing an evening run, might in the future, it would be a way of avoiding loads of traffic and the worst of the days heat.

Yeah it is lovely, I was up there on Tuesday but unfortunately the road was closed so had to go back into Rhayader and over the mountain road to Aberystwyth for fish and chips on the sea front. I was spending a very pleasant couple of days visiting a friend in Kington, it was nice to ride some of the Welsh roads again , haven't been back since I moved to Dorset 2 years ago. Wednesday was a ride through the Brecon Beacons over the Black Mountains and down into LLandovery for a very enjoyable breakfast at the Owls nest. Back on Thursday morning , really hot on the way back, bike was showing 30c

I wouldn't normally go for an evening ride when out on a trip, but twice now circumstances have dictated that I must in order to ride the roads I planned. In both cases there was less traffic and it had a different feel that made for a more interesting ride.
I rode around the reservoirs on Monday and there were lots of sections of roadworks, so I'm not surprised to hear of the road closure on Tuesday.
