Martin Davidson

Experienced Mountain Biker, that also Road rides, I've ridden trails all over the UK including England, Scotland & Wales. I've also ridden in Europe (The French Alps, Spanish Sierra Nevada mountains plus the Basque Country), the Balearic Islands, Corsica & the Canaries. I've been Mountain Biking as long as the sport has been going & probably before! I'm 62 but as a T shirt which was bought for me by my Mother states "Never underestimate an old man on a Mountain Bike", I ride every discipline but mainly singletrack trails. I have two mantras in life the first one, "If you're not living on the edge you're taking up too much space!" & second "If you're riding as fast as you can & you're still in control, you're obviously not going fast enough!" I also like road riding but Love Mountain biking! Oh I also ski. May your trails all be dry & dusty, Live long & prosper, care for the planet & leave only tyre marks.🤙🚵‍♂️

Not difficult, just maybe a bit of MTB riding history always helps. This route involves 2 X visits to the cafe, therefore that'll be 2 x brews☕☕😜 the loop 1 follows the old original route (old Red) which was lovely but has recently suffered under the foresters axe (read very fancy felling machine) & left some sections looking a bit sorry for themselves. Loop 2 follows True Blue. As of the 10.10.2025 the Welsh water 🌊 project continues & you have to pedal down from the top carpark as the trails to the centre 'are or were' closed. This should be a temporary thing but worth checking before you start.🤔

Blue bikes with a red accent you clearly have style and stamina That elevation looks brutal but beautiful. I love long rides like that, especially when there’s good coffee at the halfway point.

Next time you plan a route like this, save a spot for one more cyclist?

Absolutely beautiful walk along the river on a well laid & surfaced paths. Dogs are allowed off the lead providing they are kept to heal.

What was in my opinion the premier MTB trail in North Wales is now a broken shadow of it's former self😱 Consisting of two loops (the original Red Loop & the slightly younger & completely different feeling Purple Loop) they are linked together in a very loose figure of eight. Unfortunately the lower end of the Purple Loop is now unnavigable from the Dolen Eyri signpost. Currently (25.8.2025) there are many closures & diversions in place. Annoyingly some of which are "Red Herrings" & completely rideable beyond the closure barrier!😡 Be aware this is extreme terrain where the elements can change in an instant. There's no Visitor Centre a small parking area & it's a very strenuous pedal. Tell someone where you are going in the first instance.

The carpark is very limited & only open below the barrier at the entrance to the forest. Payment is voluntary via the Penmachno on line page or with cash into the 'glory hole' @money box. The trail is run & maintained by local volunteers (unfortunately I fear they may have long gone). Hot food & good
