Have seen a few vids relating to the new road race.

Would anyone happen to know where exactly in the Brecon Beacons this route actually is?

It says in the video. Eppynt - http://www.bikesportnews.com/news/news-detail/eppy...
Recognised it immediately: it's heading north on the road from LLywel to Tirabad across the MOD ranges.- https://goo.gl/maps/2cTJNExHjuN2

From there it loops back to the start (the Google car hasn't been down that section) - https://goo.gl/maps/C1Wzna9PJAo
