Follow a steadily climbing Roman road skirting the eastern edges of Pen y Fan before roaring down the rocky descent of Cwm Cynwyn. Stunning views and proper mountain biking on a route that even goes via the odd pub!

Did you have a good one then? Have rumours of the main descent's demise been greatly exaggerated?

Well, it still slopes downhill and some of the loose gravel is still there...
