In 2017 and 2018, I ran two series of free guided rides to help open up the whole of Brechfa forest to more mountain bikers - the waymarked trails are only the beginning!
In 2019, this morphed into a free weekly group ride with a similar format,
mixing up trail centre and off piste, with easy/hard options for those who want them. We've ridden every Sunday since, except during lockdown. Everyone is welcome. Normally about 10-12 riders, but
can be more than 20 when the weather is good. They're a friendly bunch of very mixed abilities, so don't be
shy.
The
rides take place
every Sunday from 9.30 until about 12.30, normally
from Byrgwm/Raven carpark. Sometimes there's cake. Visit the
Brechfa Mtb Riders group on Facebook to see exactly where the group is meeting each week.
