Best docu film I’ve seen in years

Try the Glyn peris guest house just outside llanberis ideal if you fancy a bash at snowdon Its ran by an outdoor instructor and his partner enjoy

no amplebrew he had some gears not sure he will be doing it again any time soon he was pretty tired in work
I thought my ride of 18 miles each way was enough too

There is some new track at pyb But if you head just down the road to jims bridge over the bridge and into the woods there is some sort of track there that has been there for ages worth a try and not too far from home.If that doesnt work i second the marsh tracks comment

Kids sleeping bags are never that good just go for one of yours and fold it in half for extra warmth

Have you seen the snow forcast for this weekend.If you get your nav wrong from the summit you will head straght over a 400ft cliff. Head to cyb youl have more fun and survive to tell the tail

asus eee pc netebook or take a look at the new asus transformer only problem with both is the lack of memory for storing photos or large files

Dont forget to save 25% of what he earns for the tax man.Put it in a seperate account and dont touch it its amazing how it mounts up throught the year and looks tempting.

Buy AVG if you have been happy with the service for the past 2 years

surley trail closures are generaly put there for good reason ie a tree might just be felled on your head whilst riding past the forestry contractors do sometimes work weekends :o best not to just ignore the signs

The chap in the capmervan must have been one of the pair you were battling with all day great effort from both of you

Are you the chap in the little bedford campervan

I have a kinesis max lite and a race lite and think they are both brilliant did the dyfi at the weekend on the max lite withe no problems at all

I saw this bike outside summit cycles before the event and noticed the forks were on the wrong way round just thought someone had set it up like that on purpous for some strange reason.Bet he had a fun time on the world cup decent not

Im doing this route at the end of may with a group of outdoor students we are canoeing from fort bill to fort augustus and then cycling back any information sent this way will also be greatly received Dr bakes where have you ordered the harveys map from? We are also looking at using a mixture of panniers and trailers to carry our kit the rooty bit people talk about is that after fort augustus?

The last three decents on the marin trail on a dry dusty summers eve never fails to put a grin on my face

It was mainly on the flat and took all day and mum had to push her up the only hill I was towing the baby in a trailer we cycled from rhos on sea to rhyl and back including a stop at grangads fairground in towyn north wales a great day out

Great effort. My little girl managed it in october last year at just over three and a half it took a few evenings of practice on the local promenade I was so pround. In the easter of last year she managed 15 miles on the flat with stabilisers and all with no complaints just took it steady. Fat britian and obese kids not in my house

Just wondering
Why would anyone want to ride on a sheet of ice anyway. Snow yes great fun and doesnt hurt when you fall on it but ice that bloody hurts and is impossible to corner on. I do seem to remember the marin being shut last winter people ignoring the sighns and hearing several stories of broken hips and arms. The trails at llandegla are far better when they are dry and dusty in the summer go ride somewhere else and just wait
p.s Had a great day at coed y Brenin today no snow or ice only sketchy bit was the drive home.

Try a bottle of jura the co op currently has it on offer at around 16.00 that should do the trick

Did you win it

hi Nick
I am a mountain bike guide and outdoor instructor living in the Betws-y-Coed area and mey be able to help with a days tuition if intrested at the moment I think I am free on the wednesday of that week if that is any help do get in touch. Other wise like most other people have said I would go with the marin trail you can ride it as fast or a slow as you like their are no real big drops or super scary bits.email steandsal@aol.com

There are plenty of routes the lon las eifion cycle path is great all trafic free can be combined with the highland railway and caernarfon castle for a great day out.Check out sustrands routes
Newbrough forest on anglesey a maze of fire roads and single track to get lost on.
Llangefni to malltraeth cycle path on anglesey is good too pubs at each end.
Plenty of narrow lanes to ride around on the LLeyn to find your own beach.
Hope the weathers good it makes the whole area better than being abroard. I have spent the past week teaching mountain biking to year 9 students just loving the sunshine :-)

I have worked in edale several times and often wondered how strict the councils were on the parking front. Its only a fiver for the whole day much cheeper than parking in a city centre or the same amount as you would spend in the pub at the end of a ride. Just pay the fine take it as a lesson learn’t oh and learn to navigte :-)

Nothwest mountain bikes cant get better than steve peats old mechanic

GCSE cycling is part of the PE sylybus I just have to make some adaptations its great for those who are not into the so called regular sports football, rugby etc I can teach in a weeks riding time what a school PE teacher teaches in almost a year most PE students only get 2 hours a week.

I took my daughter when she was 2 she got on ok and was happy to climb to around 2m until she wanted do come down she had to use a full body harness as a waist harness would not fit her and she was too light for me to use any form of belay device so a couple of wraps of the rope in a karabina surficed although not a recomended form of belaying. The BMC (British mountaineering council) give out great advice to parents whishing to take theit children climbing. I have taken my daughter again and she seems to be keener on bouldreing oh and jumping on the mats do bear in mind climbing walls are usually filthy dirty with old chalk dust.

OMG that was hard but what an excellent event again. My legs had totaly given up the ghost by the last climb, might have had something to do with the blood loss from my nose on every climb. Not sure what that was all about I looked like I had been in a fight by the time I had finished . Hope my legs have recoveed my tomorrow as for the rest of the week I am teaching GCSE mountain biking in and north wales.Mental note to self must train more for the next time

has to be black gold
