Bit of offpiste fun in Brechfa today before Lockdown 2 begins... Thanks to Reg for filming me on Cliff (and editing out the swearing) and Kieran for filming and me on the new KBtech run on the Graig 👌

Sunday ride No 54 had more of an epic xc feel than normal

When you build it and you know it’s tight but it looks rideable... (contains swearing😂)

No fewer than 27 turned up for the first outing since lockdown! We meet at 9.30 every Sunday and it’s free. When I’m guiding, I’m limited under my insurance to a group of eight. And now I know why. While I wasn’t guiding as such today, I was the designated organiser under Welsh Covid rules and the only one who knew where we were going. Trying to keep this lot together was a challenge - glad I had plenty of help. Fun morning though sliding around the forest and here on the moor👍

Finished prepping Brechfa’s answer to the Doethie Valley today. Almost a mile of breathtakingly scenic fun cross-country singletrack descending on the edge of the moor, with none of the Doethie Valley’s bogs! For a half or full day’s guiding this summer either here in Brechfa or over at the real Doethie Valley, message me now!

Found the perfect sheep track at the top of the Cothi Valley today. But then I ripped the sidewall of my front tyre (on a forestry road 🙄) and the repair would only hold up to about 5 psi so it was a slow trundle home. (Yes I did have a tube in my bag, but you know how it is with tubeless, when you keep thinking this time it must seal?) @ Ffarmers

Even better news: From Monday I can guide mixed groups and not just one household. Doethie Valley was looking pretty lush today - what are you waiting for?

Remember, the waymarked trails at Brechfa and Cwm Rhaeadr are closed all summer for felling, so there’s never been a better time to hire a mountain bike guide.

Choose from three packages:

Elenydd Epic:

The ultimate in social distancing. A full day in the middle of nowhere taking in the world-famous Doethie Valley, the even longer Towy Fords descent, and maybe a dip in a mountain lake. Good chance of literally not seeing another soul all day.

Brechfa Offpiste:

Full or half day of off-piste riding in and around Brechfa Forest. Choice of how hardcore you want it, from gravel to cross-country to enduro. Zero trail centre.

Family Fun:

Half day riding in and around Brechfa Forest, with or without the kids. Starting at the top of the forest and finishing at the bottom to save your legs. Suitable for all levels of experience. All on scenic forest tracks and moorland away from the trail centre.

Half days £60, full days £120. So for a group of 8 that would be just £15 each for the day.
