*** 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. ****

Join Gwenan and I for this evening ride exploring 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 Nebo. There is a very short section on the A5 trunk road before we climb again on a Bridleway towards Ysbty Ifan , from here we will take some rough and remote lanes and eventually emerge on the road to Penmachno, from there we will climb once again into the forest above Penmachno, after a couple of loops in the forest on gravel tracks we will return to Betws. There is one very short section on bridleway where we will need to walk.
There is lots of climbing on this ride, around 800m 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 third of the ride is on tarmac (although some sections are marked as bridleways 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
