Coleford - Bream - St Briavels
Tyres down at the start, valves then fell off, mishaps along the way (green trails too overgrown to pass in places) but a good ride, couldn't find a nice open cafe nearby though...
Did get some nice drone footage along the way.

Nice loop
Usk - Devauden - Harold's Stones – Coed Wern y Cwm
Dodgy lane along a dried up river bed (had to get off and push) and nettles either side of another path, but all in all a great day for a ride.

Skenfrith Castle - Abbey Dore - Grosmont
Stopped at The Bridge Inn, where they did us a ploughman's lunch, even though it wasn't on their menu. Very tasty, good coffee, welcoming staff. They let campervans stay overnight on the land too. £15

Lower Lliw Reservoir and Café – Mynydd Pysgodlyn loop from Penllergaer
Great ride today. Varied terrain, from quiet lanes, forest tracks and easy trail centre worthy paths, to gravel tracks around turbines... had it all with a steady climb and fast descents.

Barry - Wenvoe - Sully
The ride was hot, hot and more hot. Stopped at Porthkerry Park for coffee, pannini and a huge bucket of chips. Found some new lanes but couldn't find the Dinas Castle which was on the map... it was probably just a mound of earth...
Phone battery ran out at the…
