Fundamentals of Mountain Biking Ride - Llandegla Forest blue route

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 the BLUE ROUTE description on One Planet Llandegla Forests website...

So you have a good level of fitness and you want to give mountain biking a go? This is a great route to try before embarking on the longer ‘Intermediate’ Route. It is still 12km in length, and there is a gradual climb up through the forest until it splits with the Intermediate Route at the top of the forest. Then comes the essence of what mountain biking is all about – you are rewarded for your uphill climb!
There is a great route to be enjoyed back to the Centre – which is mostly comprised of gradual downhills – but interspersed with a few gentle uphill sections, just to keep you on your toes! This route also has a selection of small humps and other features to add a degree of challenge! The route can be wet and muddy in places depending on the weather conditions.

Helmets are compulsory, full fingered gloves are highly advised for riding off road, appropriate
footwear should be advised and worn by all riders (ie trainers or similar, not open toed
footwear). PLEASE NOTE, you must be 16yrs or older to join this ride.

This is a steady Mountain bike ride around the blue route in Llandegla forest for those who want to get out on their mountain bikes.

We will begin and finish at the Cafe by the car park, we will stop regularly to ensure everyone remains together and we never leave anyone behind. There are also many options to drop down onto green routes and fire tracks should the ride become a little more that expected for people.

Please note THIS IS A MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDE and therefore you will need to have a mountain bike (hardtail, full sus and ebike all absolutely fine), this must be maintained to a safe standard. A suitable safe helmet is mandatory as is full finger gloves and safe suitable shoes/clothing (if unsure please contact me). There is a parking fee of £5 per car for the full duration of your visit, if you car share there will be an extra fee of £2 per person per vehicle, this can be paid via cash or card on entry to the car park. Whilst there is a cafe on site a drink and some food is advisable and please always have weather appropriate clothing.

We never leave anyone behind
