As i'm currently leading on my own, and this is only the second one back, I will put on another predominantly blue route, however, this could change depending on the group attending - i.e. sometimes we might add in an easier red section - but nothing too technical. This ride will be easygoing, another great to be back ride!!!! Other rides coming up soon.
I've had Covid Awareness Training from the Welsh Sports Association and am responsible for following all the necessary Covid protocols to keep us all safe - please read the Covid Section below.
If you want to discuss anything please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me :-)
WHAT TO BRING:
A drink for the ride
Clothes suitable for the weather
A helmet
A mask. Hand sanitiser or sanitising wipes
Repair kit and spares (an spare inner tube as a minimum)
Make sure your bike is in good working order with the tyres pumped up before arriving on the ride
COVID-19
Welsh Cycling (WC) have agreed protocols with the Welsh Government in order to comply with the latest Covid-19 guidance & legislation. As a ride leader WC have provided me with Covid specific training so this ride complies with the current regulations, we can keep everyone safe AND have a brilliant time!!
There are a few Covid procedures we will need to follow on the ride:
-Please make sure you have up-to-date contact information on the LetsRide system. YOU WILL NEED TO REGISTER & BOOK TO JOIN A RIDE BEFORE ARRIVING
Terms of booking a ride include, “When asked by NHS contact tracers, coaches, leaders and club volunteers are permitted to share details of participants where relevant to support the process.”
- Please all keep to 2m apart at the start & finish of the ride and during any stops we make
- Avoid sharing equipment, tools, food, water bottles etc.
- Practice good hand hygiene and bring your own hand sanitiser or sanitising wipes if you normally use them
- Remember your mask in case you need to go inside somewhere, or we need to perform First Aid on you
- Please try and be self-sufficient on the ride. So we can avoid sharing tools or making repairs on your bike, please come with your own repair kit & spares and know how to use them (spare inner tube as minimum). On this ride we will be close enough to walk back to the start point if necessary
- Please don’t come on the ride if you are required to self-isolate
Before booking & coming on this ride can you please carry out a self-assessment for any Covid-19 symptoms:
- a high temperature
- a new, continuous cough

If you have any of these symptoms or feel unwell please DO NOT come on the ride. If you have at least one of these symptoms you should self-isolate (together with members of your household), get a Coivd test & follow the Test, Trace, Protect guidance.
If you develop any of these symptoms after a ride please follow the NHS Test, Trace, Protect Service guidance, namely self-isolate & get a Covid test. If you have a positive Covid test please continue to self-isolate and contact NHS Test, Trace, Protect for guidance.

Breeze back for more!!! and this ride is perfect to reintroduce you to mountain biking, and being out in a small group again. This is the second one back, so if you havent had chance to join us yet - book on!
We will be totally traffic free in the forest of Coed Y Brenin.
No specific stops during the ride, however, we stop at end of sections to chat etc, and then at the end of the ride, if you wish to stay, we can grab a take away coffee from the cafe to enjoy outside together.
No helmet, no ride.
If you don't have a mountain bike, then the shop does hire them if you wish. You will need to prebook. On this ride you will need to know how to ride a bike off road - we will be hosting rides for total beginners to cycling in the near future.
We never leave anyone behind
