Join us for a ride tailored to your skills and preferences through the scenic landscapes of North Wales. With over 2000km of trails ranging from bridleways to challenging singletracks, our expert guides will make sure you make the most of your day out on the bike. Whether you’re new to off-road biking or a seasoned rider looking for the best trails, we offer an unforgettable and personalised ride to match your ability.
Expect a well-crafted ride led by experienced guides like Steve and Keith, who bring decades of biking knowledge and skills to ensure your day is nothing short of fantastic. Steve has been riding for over 30 years and coaching for 15, while Keith is a local expert with British Cycling Level 2 certification. You’ll get a unique opportunity to ride through hidden gems in Snowdonia, from the peaceful Dyfi Forest to the exciting singletracks of Coed y Brenin, each offering something for every style of rider.
Your session will start with a brief overview of the day’s ride, and we’ll fine-tune the route based on your preferences and experience. The ride itself could range from relaxed forest tracks to technical climbs like the pony path up Cadair Idris, where you can take in beautiful views of Snowdon, Plynlymon, and the coast. As the trails are extensive and varied, we’ll adjust to what suits you best, whether that’s pushing yourself through steep terrain or cruising along smooth forest paths.
Each of our guides has top-notch mechanical expertise and first aid training, ensuring that any minor mechanical hiccups or accidents are handled professionally. You’ll be well-supported throughout, with plenty of breaks to rest, refuel, and take in the beauty around you.
Situated on the southern edge of Snowdonia, we are in prime territory for incredible rides. You’ll be within easy reach of some of Wales’ finest trail centres like Coed y Brenin, Machynlleth, and the ClimachX trails.
The surrounding landscape includes Cadair Idris, Dyfi Forest, and the rugged beauty of the Rhinogs, providing an array of trail options that cater to all skill levels.
Riders of all levels are welcome, but a reasonable level of fitness will ensure you get the most out of your ride.
For more challenging trails, previous off-road experience may be beneficial.
