Monday started off cold and frosty as we loaded up the car for a day Mountain Biking at Coed y Brenin. I was running the last of my 6 assessed coaching sessions towards my Level 2 Cycle Coaching Certificate so we were meeting all of my students there for a final few tips and a...

Coed y Brenin Enduro 2013 – Race Report

Alan Cole — Mon, 07 Oct 2013 10:33:24 +0000

I’ve called this a ‘race report’ but for me and probably most of people taking part it wasn’t a race, just an event. It isn’t classed as a race by the organisers either and is really just an excuse to ride around the hills and woods of North Wales with 600 like-minded people. I’d taken part...

Minotaurs and Travel Bugs

Hooray, he weekend again! Excellent, we were all off and able to have a family day out. It’s a shame that Anna has to work sometimes when Morgan is off school because Morgan and I get to go out and have fun whilst she is working – But someone has to pay the bills I suppose....

Coed y Brenin

Saturday was an absolutely glorious autumn day. I did manage to spend some time outdoors, doing some gardening and maintenance on the water feature, but also spent a few hours indoors at the ABKA Honey Show. I was therefore dying to get out in the sunshine and ride my bike so decided to go to...

False Teeth

It was time to get back out on my Mountain Bike yesterday. I’d arranged to be picked up by John and we were heading to Coed y Brenin to ride around the MBR Trail and try out the new ‘False Teeth’ section. It was pouring with rain whilst in the car on the way there...

Dragonsback, Coed y Brenin

It was the last Sunday of the month at the weekend, so it was the Ystwyth MTB end of month ride. Usually we travel a little further afield for a longer ride but this time it wasn’t too far, just a short drive north to Coed y Brenin. There weren’t many of us either, just...

A day out at Coed y Brenin

Alan Cole — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 06:24:51 +0000

Although it was the Boardwise Demo weekend at Aberdyfi, there was no hint of wind so after taking Morgan swimming in the morning I met Steve and Darren (Bad Excuse for a Sailor or BEFS) at Coed y brenin for a MTB ride. It was a warm, sunny day and the car park looked quite...

Dragons Back Trail at Coed y Brenin

Alan Cole — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 07:30:41 +0000

Thanks to the fact that I have a lovely and very understanding wife (does that earn me some more brownie points?) I was able to get out for a MTB ride on Sunday. Rather than head to the usual trails around here I headed north for a ride under the mighty trees of Coed y...

Long time readers of this blog will know that is know a family tradition to go Xmas tree-hunting in the run up to Christmas. Previous posts here will show that we usually meet up for our annual Xmas Tree Hunt at Brockley Combe Forest, cut down a tree, wander around aimlessly for a while and...
