Cracking ride around Rhayader today. Anyone else there today?

We saw lots of riders doing Clive Powell’s challenge ride, but we just did our own thing. Couldn’t believe how dry the trails were! Here are some of our pics:

Mike conquers the first climb of the day

Muddypuddle on the same hill

And a few more…

Mike, Muddypuddle and Epic. Hungry work this riding lark you know!

The ford below Roman Camp.

Top day. I’m still smiling now 🙂

Hey nice pics.

Did you not to the descent to Garreg Ddu?

I dought that Garreg will increase your average speed.

Might make you die laughing though.

Pic from our last trip out that way

I love riding round there, good bike shop too.

I have done that descent in the past Singlespeedstu, but not in over a year. Mike and Muddypuddle left their ‘bottle’ at home unfortunately – Odd as Muddypuddle seems to think she’s Steve Peat at the moment 😉

Nice picks of my favourite welsh bothy on Flickr by the way. Have you done Nantsyddion over the valley too?

I have done that descent of SSS
that was taken from standing on the outcrop you can see in his pic.
this is looking at the tricky bit it doesn’t look so bad from this view.
For some other pics look here

Nice spot for a picnic

you can tell that mine is from a few summers back from the water level.

Brilliant wasn’t it!!

We may have passed you going the other way on the tops by the fort. Took my lady for her 1st real MTB ride. Elan Valley trail then up and over at Craig Goch and the fort. Then uphill to descend the superb double track down to Rhayader.
