Tales from a down-shifted family
- Making the most of modest means
I haven’t posted a ride report for a while or any route guides. Mainly because I had a few months off the bike after being in hospital and the rides I’ve done over the past few weeks whilst trying to get back into it have been pretty hard work and not that enjoyable. Last nights...
The official results from Sleepless in the Saddle are available to download as Excel files on the Official Photographers website. Along of course with some really good photos. Hopefully more photos will be online soon and I’ll link to them when I find any. Our teams lap times were: Team 1 25 laps 24:23:03 ...
I went on my recent trip to the Isle of Man with high hopes of lots of quality mountain biking. I had heard that there were a couple of purpose built trails in the South Barrule plantation and that someone from Coed y Brenin had been there to consult on the building of these. I...
The busy week here continues… We’ll tell you more about some of the things we’ve been doing later, but I did manage to squeeze in the weekly Ystwyth MTB club night ride last night and actually remembered to take some photos too. So, for those of you who wonder why we put ourselves through the...
This weeks Ystwyth-MTB night ride was in the Dyfi Forest. Just Dave, Jon and myself this week and as Dave and Jon are pretty fast I had a pretty hard ride doing my best to keep up. It was a good ride in lovely conditions, hot and sunny. A little too hot really but we...
I first did the Raven MTB Trail at Brechfa, not long after it first opened in August 2008. There were a few of us on that ride and it has to be said it was quite a mudfest! Some sections were closed due to the surface breaking up and others were barely rideable. It was...
I’ve kind of vounteered myself to guide a few people on a MTB ride tomorrow and people have been requesting the planned route, so here it is. Route for tomorrow Of course, the weather may well dictate otherwise. The plan is to start from Nant yr Arian Visitor Centre and head out on the Conti...
For a change from our usual Ystwyth-MTB weekly evening ride we headed off to Pennal Woods last night for a little guided ride by Shem. Shem, martyn, Dave, Simon, Dan and I met in Pennal (which was looking a little grey) and headed off into the woods where we met up with Tegid and Andy....
I’ve had a few people ask for the actual route that we took on the Dyfi Enduro at the weekend. So here is a Google Earth file of the Dyfi Enduro route. Just download it and open with Google Earth. It includes the punishment loop that the top 200 riders had to do.
With one week to go until the Dyfi Enduro, we had planned a pre-event ride around the course as part of our training schedule. We didn’t quite do the whole distance as we missed out the bits on the road, instead starting and ending at the ClimachX car park. The course does change a little...
