Easier Traws Eryri Stage 4: Betws-y-coed to Conwy
What an incredible ride. Amazing scenery and wonderful tracks with a lot of off-road today. This was day 3 for me, I missed out Stage 3 as I was already staying at Betws-y-coed. The climbing started from the go, up into the forest. I reached Capel Curig surprisingly quickly which…

Easier Traws Eryri Stage 2 Dolgellau to Trawsfynydd
Great tracks, amazing scenery and less showers made for a really good day. From Dolgellau I took the cycleway along Mawddach river then small lanes without any traffic through into Coed-y-brenin forest. I climbed up a rocky track and took Tarw Du mtb track down to the Visitor Centre. I…

Easier Traws Eryri Stage 1 Machynlleth to Dolgellau
This was the first day of my attempt at Traws Eryri. Since the weather was heavy showers and windy I thought it best not to be on exposed track halfway up Cader Idris so binned the official route in favour of this alternative from Katherine Moore. And it was a…

Ashford Hangers mtb ride from Selborne to Petersfield
Some really great singletrack on this route. I don't usually ride here as the tracks get very boggy, but after the dry summer I thought I'd do this route before they deteriorate. The track around Noar Hill is ace in the dry but the off camber chalk makes it tricky…

Isle of Wight mtb day ride
Always a great day out on Isle of Wight. It wasn't too hot with a cooling N breeze. I did plenty of off road to link the ride as the tracks were so dry if a little bumpy, the ground being like concrete now. Some parts were quite sandy too,…

Winchester back to Southsea via Meon Valley
Cycling back to Southsea from Winchester with a lot of off-road to Wickham. I took the Hazeley Down bridleway from St Catherine's Hill then an endless descent from Cheesefoot head into Rooty Chute. I did some of SDW to Beacon Hill then a blast down Meon Valley trail. A nice…

Old Winchester Hill & Forest of Bere mtb loop from Wickham
A great ride on the dry tracks though some bits are overgrown now, so I've got some bramble scratches 🙄. There was a wonderful view from the top of Salt hill before a fast technical descent, with plenty of grip on the chalk in the dry. Another good descent from…

Punch Bowl dry route from Liphook
Since it is so dry at the moment I added some sunken lanes and chutes into my Punch Bowl ride. Lots of off road on dusty tracks made for a great day out

Elan Valley roundabout Day 3
Such a wonderful cruisey ride to end the trip. This is the second time I've done this route and it's on my list of best rides. There's a lot of tarmac and it's not particularly exciting riding but the lanes and scenery are amazing. I started from Llangurig on the…

Elan Valley roundabout Day 2
This may have been a short ride but it was a tough one. Lots of low gear climbing and some pushing 🥵 I took the road climb out from Pontarfynach then a steep descent to Hafod estate where there were nice gravel tracks in the shade. Then a push up…

Elan Valley roundabout Day 1
What an amazing ride! The idea was to escape the heat by going to Wales, but it was hot here too. An easy start on the Elan Valley trail, then the wonderful if bumpy gravel track around the Claerwen reservoir. Incredible views and worryingly remote. By midday it was sweltering,…

Freshwater to Fishbourne across the Downs
After an easy day yesterday, this was a tough one. Three big climbs to start and a monster headwind on the exposed hills. Hard work on a loaded bike, but fantastic views in the sunshine. A fast downhill on Tennyson Trail to Carisbrooke and a scenic route round the castle…

Brockenhurst to Lymington, the long way
After Saturday's meet, I decided to ride home via the Isle of Wight. To get to Lymington, I took the long route. Some fast cycling to begin with on the Forest gravel, but then I made hard work of it by doing some singletrack on the edge of New Forest…

Sub 4 hour ride, Chichester to South Downs
The original rationale for this ride was to park at Chichester, polish off the ride then get out of the car park in under 4 hours to avoid being clocked by the ANPR camera 😁 However since the free time has been reduced I now start at Fishbourne. I've done…

Petersfield, Liphook avoiding Longmoor Woolmer ranges
I was doing a ride from Petersfield and I knew that there was firing at Woolmer and Longmoor ranges, so I planned this route to circumnavigate the ranges. It didn't quite work out, as the ranges were extra-closed 🙄 but this did mean I rode some different tracks. The track…
