I'm in charge for 3 weeks in Feb.
We've done Coed Y Brenin, are there any other trails worth a look (not necessarily Wales) with decent rides that aren't too bumpy for a kid in a bike seat? The Minotaur at CYB was perfect, swoopy, not too rocky, no big climbs. The family trail, Yr Afon, was actually pretty hard work with a kid on the back and not that interesting for either of us.
Cheers folks
Blue at Cannock, blue at whinlatter.
Haldon has a couple if you're down Exeter way any time. The blue 'challenge' loop I prefer to the red in many ways and should be very rideable.
Thetford Reds, avoid the blue and green as they are just slogs through sand half the time. If you're feeling like putting on a few miles you can ride the Peddars way on Bridleways/Quiet roads from Knettishall Heath to the Coast and back. 🙂
I used to reckon that if I could ride it sat down all the way then it was OK.

Infact the green trail back to the car park is one of the best ever!

This, it's a brilliant bit of trail whatever your skill level.
The Rookie trails at Afan are very easy, more like a ride in the park than a proper MTB trail, but you won't run into any problems with the little one there.
Loads at forest of dean, can cut rough bits out on old tram/train tracks and fire tracks etc.
Thanks for all the suggestions folks. Much appreciated.
As it happened we didn't get a break away, but I'll bear these all in mind for when we do.

yeah the only bit you have to watch out for is two thirds or so of the way down to the lowest part of the loop, where the trail crosses the fire road and there's a sharp dip and a hump at the edge of the road as you re-enter the woods..
I took that a bit fast with yunki Jr MkI when he was tiny and he bit his tongue which put him off for ages 😳 🙁
