Taking laddo on Saturday for a blast. Must be at least a couple of years since I was last there. Any new bits to look out for or still the same? Many closures in place etc? Personally I've always enjoyed the place so looking forward to taking him.
Plagued with e-bikes mate. Can't swing a cat without hitting a fatso on a moped. If you can navigate your way through this sea of imbecility then the trails are the same as ever - part of red trail where first black starts was shut last I was there but it's not a huge amount.
As above, not much will have changed, though numpties on e-bikes mean the once common braking bumps are now incessant and about a billion times bigger than they used to be. One part of the first section has recently been re-done, but has been ruined by ridiculous little speed bumps, not jumps, just short, tall, speed bumps. The weather we've had recently up here should have helped the dust levels though, until last week it was a total dust bowel and grip was at a premium, should be a bit better now the rain has arrived and tacked it up. Despite all this I'll still ride there once or twice a week when life allows, its good fun and it's 10 minutes up the road from me so very convenient.
Went on Saturday, some ebikes there but I just gave them a gap as they were really slow uphill and went past them at the trail junctions.
Car park was full, cafe was full but only met 4 or 5 real groups on the trail, rest was mostly to myself.
The biggest **** of the day was some young lad on a 26" giant make of that what you will 😉
Not got much rougher on the surface but just good clean fun really, wind it up and enjoy the smiles.
On fire probably - the hill next to it was this weekend...
yeah was a little strange riding towards the smoke and fire, goes against everything I was taught recently!!
Think the rain has put the flames out
My lad (24in wheeled Saracen) and I (Green Chromag Hardtail) were there at the weekend. Can't say we found it particularly busy on either day.
We both thoroughly enjoyed the Red (plus to to and from the trails from Llyn Rhys) in the dust on Saturday and then the Blue in the rain on the Sunday.
Jacob also managed to get his first pinch flat after coming into a rocky section very hot.
Loving the love for the ebikes 🤣.
We shall be there dying on the ups (well he won't I will) and no doubt passing them on downs, at 13 1/2 and on my old 26" spesh he is fast becoming a decent rider.
