Hi all
New member here.
I have foolishly entered the BB200 and am starting to get the feeling of impending doom! Does anyone have a one night / two day GPX route for the Brecon Beacons with the option of a B&B or pub in the middle please (pretty soft I know). I don't have a smart phone so I guess a Strava route is out?

Its only 8 weeks between now and the BB200 so you really need to be getting out and getting comfortable riding with extra gear and staying out for the night.
When you're cold, tired & wet you need the skills/experience to find a good spot to stop. Dont make the BB200 the first time you do this as i can guarantee it wont end well. Get a couple of nights out now and the less favorable the conditions the better.
The BB200 can get serious so make sure you're prepared. Theres;
No waywarking
No feed stations
No broom wagon
No support
If something breaks, you get lost, your legs dont work anymore, tough. You still have to get yourself back to safety.
