Fundamentals of Mountain Biking Ride - Capel Garmon and Penmachno circuit

*** This Breeze bike ride is a beginners mountain bike ride, brought to you by a qualified Fundamentals of Mountain Bike Leader. To deliver rides as per the remit of the Fundamentals of MTB Award, I also hold a valid 2 day outdoor first aid certificate. ****

This ride will explore forest tracks, bridleways and quiet lanes . Starting from Betws Y Coed we will climb towards Capel Garmon and head into the forest and woodlands, Emerging on some quiet roads we will ride towards Capel Garmon, here we can go and explore the ancient buriel chamber (on foot) Aftre some quiet lanes and brdleways we will cross the A5 and visit the Conwy Falls cafe for refreshments
.From there we will climb once again into the forest above Penmachno, after a couple of loops in the forest on gravel tracks and a fun descent back to Penmachno we will follow more quiet roads back to Betws Y Coed.
There is lots of climbing on this ride, around 720m, it is best done on an e mountain bike or for fitter people a gravel bike or analogue mountain bike, although there are a few rocky sections where care will be needed on a gravel bike. Around one quarter of the ride is on tarmac (although some sections are marked as brdleways on the map)

I can provide a limited number of E bikes for those who don't have their own
Helmets and gloves are required. Glasses recommended . Bring a snack and drink

We never leave anyone behind
