Brecon Beacons Ride With MR Motorcycle Tours Ft Devils Elbow On BMW GS Adventure Pt1

Hello Everyone,
I trust you're all doing well and savoring the joys of summer (for those of you residing in this hemisphere). I've finally managed to get around to editing another ride, which was filmed back in September. Admittedly, I'm quite behind on my uploads, and for that, I apologize.
In this first part of the video series, I had the pleasure of meeting up with Naeemxplores as we embarked on a day ride with Mark from MR Motorcycle Tours in South Wales. After a scenic journey from Coventry, we rendezvoused for breakfast in Sennybridge, where we deliberated on the route Mark would guide us through. Our adventure then took us on a fantastic exploration of the Brecon Beacons, showcasing its magnificent biking routes.
The Brecon area truly offers an exhilarating ride, and I hope this video serves as a helpful guide for planning your own journey there.
I have a loads of content still in the pipeline, including highlights from my week in Germany, which I hope to edit and share with you soon.
Thank you for tuning in.
Best regards,
Steve

Great to have you back and nice ep1 video. I think your current GS really suits you and it looks fabulous too. Cheers.

Smashing video of my part of the world. I am 61, an aging 125 rider, but I regularly visit the Brecon beacons through the spring/summer/autumn months. There really are a plethora of places to visit, with hidden gems all around - the whole area is a true treasure to be enjoyed. Glad you enjoyed my part of the world.

As an early riser I cannot abide being late. This reason alone puts me off *ever* riding in a group. Throw in the different abilities of different riders (I for one am a slow-Norris) and it becomes a perfect recipe for disaster (see TeaPotOne's current tour of Scotland). I tend to ride solo, or at most with my brother. The great thing about riding early in the day are the scents that are all-encompassing, especially in the spring and early summer. If you want a decent bike meet to ride out to from Cov I can highly recommend Poole Quay on a hot summer Tuesday evening (starts around 6:00pm). I have known 3,000 bikes to turn out. Alternatively the Cotswolds are on your doorstep, and they have some fabulous roads to enjoy.

I concur entirely regarding tardiness. Fully fueld and ready to go means just that. This is the second time he's ridden with someone and they've arrived late.

Think it was warmer last October than it is now 🤣 great video, thanks for adding to some of my places to visit 👍

I know that cafe, stopped there last year when we did a weekend (inc the Reservoir & Devils Stairs).

Nice ride, Steve. I prefer my 1250 GSA to the new 1300 - when the warranty is up next year it would be cheaper to buy an extended warranty than a new bike and at 3 years old, it will really still be new anyway.

You say 'never stand on the grass in these lay-by's' - why not? Very interesting video, especially as a non biker myself. Thanks for posting.

[@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne]

Because everyone who needs a piss (or worse) does it on the grass...

@@BibTheBoulderTheOriginalOne Just up the road not far from the tunnel you passed through used to be a public toilet, Monmouth council deemed it to expensive to maintain so pulled it down. Anyway thanks for the tip - from a naive Welsh man!

Some people out for a drive ,allow their mutts ,to sh💩t in the grass when stopping in lay- by’s . Not very nice stuff to transfer to your foot pegs & doesn’t smell very nice either .

[@fenrichlee2867]

@@maskedavenger2578 Yes, yes I know exactly what you mean, I live on a small private estate, yet there a few here who will persistently leave their dog sh*t where ever it's dropped - not bothering to clean it up - they are lazy dirty gits who lower the tone of the place.

It's "The Beacons", not "The Brecons". It's like calling the Yorkshire Dales "The Yorkshires". 😊

Lateness is such poor form . Only one of you got that extra half hour in bed. Best of going alone. Nice video though
