Other than the trail centre, any recommendations for riding in that area please? Big day out in the hills routes? Other trails worth checking? Any jump spots?

Info gratefully received ๐Ÿ™‚

Cadair Idris is near, but not sure I rate it that much. Twould be amazing loop if they just reclassified 1 mile of path

I'd love to ride the full Cadair Idris ridge as a 'there and back' from the coast at Rhosllefain or Llwyngwril to Gau Graig. What a ride it would be but we are stuck with silly access laws that prevent this from happening.

Haha, drove past the Hardline site yesterday. Those boys are welcome to that.

The Pony Path.

There is a brilliant bridleway up CI from the south, which is pretty much all rideable, but it is dull as **** as a descent. ( Yes I know there is a 200m detour section half way down but that's still pretty pants)

If they allowed bikes on the pony path then you could do an amazing loop up the southern bridleway, down PP then round to the east, over the pass and back to Abergynolwyn.

PS. I have never been on the PP so I may be completely wrong. But it looks a decent gradient.
