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

I also have a mountain bike coaching qualification and am happy to give coaching advice as we ride.


There is a mixture of terrain with a short road section. There will be gravel, probably mud, some roots, small rocks, a water crossing and a steep gravel hill where you may wish to walk. The aim is to have a fun social ride and gain confidence. The ride can be adapted to suit participants. There are options to make the ride longer or shorter. In winter especially it is expected that some or all of us will need to walk short sections. We will stop at regular intervals along the route and have a cafe stop.

All participants must wear a helmet. Wear clothing and shoes suitable for wet, muddy conditions and gloves. Bring a spare inner tube to fit your bike, a drink and money for the cafe. It is a good idea to wear layers as it will be cold to start but you will warm up quickly. Bring a waterproof jacket if there is any chance of rain. A small rucksack is useful.

The ride will start at the Deri Inn. We climb on the road to the Wenallt where we take on a gravel climb followed by a gravel path to take the river crossing. We then climb a gravel path to Rhiwbina Hill to join the road for a short section. We enter Forest Ganol and ride a gravel track to exit taking the road to the Forest Fawr car park. We enter the woods riding down a long descent to Tongwynlais then returning to the start via the road.



We will have plenty of stops and I'm happy for anyone to walk more difficult sections
