Planning a 2 day trip in May with about 8 of us, Day 1 doing something that's dramatic scenery and c30 miler etc. Day 2 will be Bike Park Wales. Any thoughts about Day 1 options v welcome

The w2 at Afan or both sides of CwmCarn.

That’s all South Wales, as is BPW.

LOL I missed the north wales bit, i saw BPW and assumed south.
OK North, the big one is the Beast at Coed y Brenin, ooooh it is a biggie!

+1 for Coed y Brenin. Quite a few trails to choose from and some very nice scenery.

Coed y Brenin, you have a good choice of trails that will cover all aspects. From blue trail which is nice flowing single track to the Tara Du with the slabs and of course the beast which has everything. If your body allows you could spend a whole day there with the cafe, toilets, showers, bike shop etc. I spent two years working in the area so it was my playground and loved it. Enjoy.

It’s a shame the people who owned the house that opened up their front garden for a cafe half way round the Beast stopped and sold up. Used to enjoy getting a nice warm cuppa or bowl of soup when it was cold and wet. It’s been bulldozed and turned into a few houses.

Used to love that, not often i would enjoy soup but that was always a treat. I remember Rachel Atherton used to frequent it there too.

You could look at riding Worlds end. Park at Llandegla it’s great loop out and back.

Do you have a gpx for that route? I'm round that way quite often.

Depending on what you are looking for, doesnt dyfi have a monster ebike loop? Ive seen a few videos of it, not sure how official it is.
Regardless if I was in north wales, it would be antur stiniog, revs (RIP) or dyfi.

 

[VWsurfbum]

Dyfi is a great day/weekend! Loved it there.

The beast at Coed y brenin is fantastic especially on an ebike

If your on Strava just search my name you’ll be able to save the route. There’s some off piste stuff in there that may have been destroyed since..

This is the Ebike loop at Dyfi. Word of warning it’s very technical in places.
