[#4680604]

I'm going a way for a week over new years for a friends 30th birthday.

We've booked a farm house near hay-on-wye so flooding aside what's the riding like there?

Is it worth taking my steed for some NY riding? MTB or road?

Trails and route suggestions would be welcomed!

If owts cheeky or locals only, feel free to email details to me Ben.cragg83@googlemail.com

Thanks for your responses in advance, Merry ****in Xmas!

Try [url= http://www.drovercycles.co.uk ]LBS in Hay[/url] for info. You really are spoilt for choice around there with the Black Mountains and the Welsh Marches (unless you're looking for trail centres).

The Black Mountains are awesome. Find a map; follow tracks that cross lots of contours downhill. They're all ace.

I love a good ride on Lord Herefords Knob me.

Some fantastic riding to be had in the Black Mountains.

Be sure to take in the descent off Rhiw Trumau.
