Reading Time: < 1 minuteLast chance for a ride after work at the fantastic Landegla mountainbike centre. See www.coedllandegla.com if you don’t already know what this place has to offer…and if you don’t, then get yourself there because it’s the best fun you can have legally! (Well, that might be a slight exageration, but not much) Meet outside the […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteMeet at the station cafe as usual at 10am to explore more of the forest singletrack. All abilities welcome. 2 hours or so then lunch back at the cafe. More for those who want it after lunch. Picture shows Kev U, Jack and Kev C tackling the mud.

Reading Time: < 1 minuteI’m thinking of booking the following bunk house http://www.guesthousessnowdonia.com/accom-bunkhouse.html for the first weekend in October, staying Fri 2nd and Saturday 3rd. This means we can do another Welsh mountain – Cader Idris one day and the fantastic Coed y Brenin trails the other. Let me know who’s up for it and I’ll book if we […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesAnother good turnout and ten of us completed the “Arthur 2 times” route around the northern end of the Clwyd hills, thanks to Matt having programmed it into his GPS from the Ride the Clwyds website. A few spots of rain as we set off gave way to sunshine and fantastic views across the Vale […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteKevin C and son Jack rode the roller coaster Black trail at Llandegla for the first time on Wednesday evening. If you haven’t ridden these trails you don’t know what you’re missing. They loved it; especially Jack who probably hasn’t lost that big grin off his face yet. Andy Boyle made it too, but arrived […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteFollow this man through the forest if you can! Here is Ross in action at Brown Backs Racing’s Lea Quarry event (thanks to them for the pic). He always seems to find some undiscovered trails, so don’t miss out. All abilities welcome and we can split into two groups if it suits. We certainly won’t […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesTurned out nice eventually. This is the atmospheric view across to Moel Siabod from the Dragon’s Back on the Marin trail. Just Andy B and I tackled this one after Penmachno in the morning where we were joined by Alan Cook of BNECC. Despite the drizzle it was warm and great fun combining these two […]

Reading Time: 2 minutesI teamed up with Gareth for my first attempt at a Polaris at Bamford in the Peak District. Sort of orienteering on mountain bikes, you get 7 hours riding Saturday and 5 on Sunday to reach as many of 40 checkpoints as you can, taking any roads or bridle tracks between them. On Saturday, in […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteDon’t miss this chance to see the country’s top downhillers in action. It’s MSC/Descent-Gear National Points Series Rd 2 at Llangollen on Saturday and Sunday the 30th and 31st of May 2009. In their words, round two is going to be off the Richter Scale and will go down in the history books as the […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteRoss has kindly offered to lead us on a night ride on the local tracks and trails. Meet outside the Weaverham shops at 8pm. We’ll do the technical stuff before it’s too dark; stop for some refreshment; then head home for around midnight. 4-5 recruits so far – so come and join us and don’t […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteEleanor shows us all how to do it! Eight of us enjoyed a bright morning around the forest, topped off with a race up Pale Heights which Gareth won. I’ve been coaching him on the niceties of racing and he’s a quick learner. After tucking in behind Kevan and Jonti into the headwind, he sensed […]

Reading Time: < 1 minuteMeet at the station cafe at 10am for a couple of hours or more of fun on the abundant single track. I bet we can show you some new places in the forest. All abilities and non-members welcome to come along and give it a try. We regroup frequently so won’t leave anyone to get […]
