International Women's Day - Introductory NIGHT RIDE mtb/gravel Coed y Brenin

***Intro to night riding CyB mtb/gravel 1 - all-weather 10km 1.5hr approx***

An all weather route suitable for hardtail mtb or gravel bikes on forest roads with easy(or more difficult!) optional mtb trails. There will be sections of climbing to start, but this ride will end on a down - yay!

100% traffic free - caution through the carpark.

Hopefully clear skies for star gazing & atmospheric pics, keeping together & checking all regather at trail junctions & mtb trail section, keep everyone moving, especially on on a cold night.

Helmets are mandatory on MTB rides. safety glasses & gloves are very much advised. Also bring any medications , along with water. LIGHTS - front bar & helmet mounted required ( rear lights not needed) …message me if not sure.

Please dress for the weather & bring a spare layer in case of punctures etc Please remember to bring basic tools&spares to fix your own bike if you have them(eg inner tubes to fit your wheels), & spare jacket, but otherwise no need to bring a huge weight as I shall have my leaders pack with first aid, general spares & tools etc.

Remember it's your ride, so we can add options anytime during the ride to spice it up or choose a smoother path if you prefer, speed up or take longer breaks. Just ask.

We will run through a bike ‘M-check’ before leaving, to ensure all bikes are safe.

Meet at the Dreigiau club hut (old go ape hut) at 5-5.30pm….(…24hr toilet at visitor centre)
we will do the 'M-check' & ride out when ready before dark, and sense the change in light, returning in the dark
