Tales from a down-shifted family

Another video from the MBR team on their Welsh road trip. This time from Cader Idris. It’s a shame they weren’t there a day later as they got quite a bit of mist and murk on the top whereas the next day it was bathed in gorgeous sunshine. Mind you, I suppose as it will...
What a perfect day.. Summer’s here so I was awake as soon as it got light just after 4am! I got up at 4.30am and did a few hours work on various website projects for Pixelwave Web Design, and then as everyone else stirred at around 7am I stopped for breakfast and got ready to...
MBR are doing a report on the trails around Machynlleth for an upcoming issue so were out riding at ClimachX yesterday. They’ve posted a video of it so here’s the video of ‘Andy and Roo from MBR riding the Cli-Machx trail at Machynlleth, North Wales on a rainy day in May’. Cli-Machx Trail – Machynlleth...
I’d planned to go for a ride on my own yesterday anbd as i’d been singing the praises of my Garmin Forerunner 305 and some of the features on it I thought I should put the Virtual Training Partner feature to the test. I hadn’t used this particular feature before which allows you to record...
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...
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....
So here we go, small Welsh town, 700 mountain bikers and probably around £1 million worth of bikes. Mass start in the town and then off to the Dyfi forest where we’ll encounter a band, cheerleaders, flapjacks and lots of hills. It could only be the Dyfi Enduro. Bike has been checked, bags are packed...
Only two days to go. Bike: Commencal Meta 5.5.1. Cleaned lubed and ready to go. I put new rear brake pads in yesterday which could probably do with bedding in a little before Sunday and the rear tyre is looking a little worse for wear. It looks as though the slatey descents on last weeks...
With less than a week to go until the Dyfi Enduro we decided that this weeks night ride would be a little different. Rather than just doing a loop around the usual trails, Martyn suggested sessioning a few of the bits of singletrack on the Pendam Trail. Dave, Martyn, Bernd, Myles and myself met at...
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...
