**** 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 is an off road ride in the forest taking in some steep climbs. Great on E Bikes! If you dont have your own E bike there are E mountain bikes available from Beics Betws free of charge. For those experienced and fairly fit cyclists the route is suitable for none E mountain bikes and gravel bikes.
This off road bike ride will start in Betws Y Coed and explore the Gwydir Forest around Penmchno area, never being more than 2.5 kl from a road. There are some steep hills hence the E bikes. The route is mainly forest track with some quiet lanes and and gravel tracks. There may be one or two sections which are rocky, muddy or with wet leaves which we may have to walk.
We will hopefully visit a cafe for coffee and cake on route.
Helmets and gloves must be worn and warm clothing with a waterproof jacket. Glasses are recommended. This ride is suitable for those new to off road riding
First-timers welcome!
