~ TRAILS ~
The UK's best known and hence most popular trail centre offers three fully way-marked mountain bike trails of varying difficulty and duration. They is the Red Bull Trail and the Karrimor Trail plus fun and sports routes. Daffyd Davis, Coed-y-Brenin creator and guardian, is widely recognized as the UK's leading trail builder, and his skills are in demand further a-field than North Wales. The centre gets 120,000 visitors a year, and at weekends it's a great place to go and just hang out in between rides. The Red Bull route is the shortest at 11km, but has some great single-track sections. The Karrimor trail at 38km, is considerably longer and harder, and the recently opened MBR trail is 22km, long and is very good too. All the routes are currently signed, although the MBR and Karrimor trails will have new way-markers installed to include the additional new trail section. General forest maps, useful for seeing how the main fire roads link up, are available in the visitor's centre.

The Excellent Adventures Of Kidder & Chiefy

Have a bicycle, it helps!.
Always wear a cycle helmet.
Ride with a smile, not a bashed in face ..!
Expect the unexpected because it'll never happen ...! properly ....?
Give way to walkers/ horses & be friendly towards other forest users, especially sheep.
Never ride whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or porno's ... Boring..!
Always have enough money with you. 'Duh', to buy Bicyclemania trailfinders a pint.
Footpaths are for walkers only,  .....   " you know what we mean "
Ride flat-out & attack every hill, it could be your last ride, ever .. ever ... ever!.
Please do not drop litter or fag butts, stuff'em down your shorts.
DANGER ! Keep away from all forest operations like, S.A.S. special training op's.
...'Only teasing' ....
