Night Ride
This weeks night ride is on Wednesday February 4th and the venue is the Dyfi forest. Meet at the usual car park above Ceinws at 7:00 pm. We will ride a combination of the ClimachX trail plus a couple of extras (enduro trails - probably the three-in-one descent as apparently it is riding well).

Nothing Definite yet.... Watch this space

We will ride for 2-2¬? hours depending on the people who join us, at a social pace. Please feel welcome to join us at any time.

Weekend Rides - Update
Not-Quite-So-Stupid-O'clock-Ride: We're starting these up again, though not starting at 6:00 am (Stupid O'clock) but meeting at the war memorial in Penrhyncoch at 6:30 am (Not-quite-so stupid-O'clock). We will aim to be back by 9:30-10:00 am at the latest, so you will need
lights for the initial part of the ride, though as this is mainly climbing up to Nant, you may well get away with a good head torch.

Choice of trails after, could be out to Angler's Retreat direction, Conti trail or 2 laps of the Summit trail. Or an interesting variation like Dave did on Monday.

quote:
"Rode up and then 'sessioned' the top part of the White Fridge run 5 times, which meant climbing the steep hill, between the two fire roads, to the top 4 times, takes roughly 1.5-2 minutes if you blast it. So blasting the heart rate up the climb and then into DH mode for White Fridge, which by the last time down was getting slightly cut up and slidey! Last time down White fridge was the whole run down
to the stream, sliding and snagging my glove on the barb wire fence near the bottom was the only real hairy moment, but no harm done! Rode back via Penbontrhydybeddau and then to Penrhyn - a good use of 1 hour 15 minute lunch break!"


The last type of ride is something we could all do every now and again. I quite often do a loop round High-as-a-kite a few times.
