~ 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 are the 'Red Bull
Trail' 'MBR 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. |

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.
Come back for a ride with a big smile and
all your teeth.
DANGER ! Keep away from all forest
operations like, S.A.S. special training
op's.
...'Only teasing' .... |
