• Been camping in Wales for the week as a replacement for my other half’s cancelled ladies motorbike fest. Made it to bike park Wales a couple of times and it’s the most fun I’ve had on a bike in ages.
    I’m sure everyone in here has been there loads but I was amazed at the progression I could see in just 2 rides. Pedal passes only available too so I feel like I didn’t miss out on my road climbing miles either.
    CwmCarn (sp?) was really good too. Started off with what was for me a fairly brutal tech climb and then a fast fun red descent.
    Only have one mtb and felt far more justified in being on a stumpjumper than I do in Epping!

  • I’m yet to get back to BPW since it’s reopened (I’m only 30min away) but I should imagine the trails are mint as the trail builders were there for about 2 months before it reopened building a new trail And doing loads of maintenance on the existing ones.

    Cwmcarn is certainly worth a stop if you’re going there.
    But the locally built trails around that valley, near Risca/Machen are in my mind incredible.

  • Will make a note of the local trails as I reckon we’ll head back later in the year. Cwmcarn was a lot of fun and seeing some local nutcase riding the big jump line was great
