The trail centre thread has me hankering for natural trails. Got any pics of recent rides? Here's one of mine from the weekend gone (a ride out from home no less):

Cheeky midweek ride, couple of weeks ago.
Trail Centres? Pah!
It's a bit of a cheeky ride done early, not too far Bethesda.
Since its snowing in the Peak - a winter one from earlier this year

Carnedd Dafydd ascent?
Well spotted!
I've walked up it, it's a great ridge much nicer than going up the front from Ogwen. I'm too unfit& lazy to ride up it though

OK, so it's a road ride, but the road was very quiet and the bike is technically more off-road in this picture than on 🙂

CaptainMainwaring's pics are ace! That's the kind of mountain biking I want to do, not piddling around in woods and through fields. I need to live near some bigger hills
I really really really need to get my arse in gear and ride the Doethie valley.
Woohoo, going over Beda Fell on friday morning...

Where is the second last one drookit?
Looking south west from Carn Liath (Beinn a'Ghlo). It's one of my faves thanks to the impressive bike-tango CaptainMainwaring is performing 😀
Am I the only one representing the shandy South here? Couple more from me, then.
