Two wheels in North Wales are at an all time boom and its bringing the industry along with it. Trail centres, shops, brands and riders are all starting to make an appearance. It was no better time to really start making a push for cycling in Wales and all the hard work has paid off. Already defined trail centres like Oneplanet Adventure, Llandegla are seeing new trails built, but its also paving the way for new developments like Antur Stiniog and Revolution Bike Park, three major facilities all within an hours drive of each other, and that's only 3 of about 20+ places to ride your bicycle!

There are places in the world that you always want to visit and tick off that "ride" bucket list, but is there a need to travel half way around the world when we can look at the great riding on our doorsteps. Its not until you spend time away from somewhere that you realise what you are missing, you being to appreciate what it has to offer. After investing some time in university study, recently returned Duane Walker was keen to get out on bike and rediscover old stomping grounds but also take a glimpse at what Wales really now has to offer!

 I can't handle any more UK talk about their harsh winters. I've lived there over a winter and it gets a little wet. We have months of snow and freezing temps, then we have months of wet. Not all of the US is California - this country is much larger than all of Europe combined and is extremely diverse when it comes to climate and terrain. Just ride your bikes and wash off the mud like the rest of us. Mine is hung up until the snow melts.

 British people just like to talk about the weather, that's all. Mostly about how cold/wet it is or how hot it is. We're quite sullen like that. The good thing about the dirt there is that you can still ride it in the wet if you want. Not like the greasy goose shit slick clay where I live (not like I'm complaining though)

 As a Brit, there's nothing wrong with our winters. It rains a lot but it's not too cold (although the damp atmosphere can make it feel it) and we get to ride our bikes all year round. The trouble is that our winter lasts about 11 months of the year. The other month is Autumn.

 the issue with the weather is that we *can* ride our bikes all year round, so the horrible thing about it is also the best thing, the problem is just that in the uk, there really isn't the capacity in the soil for good drainage, so when we get a winter of rain, not snow it all washes away or turns to swamp... (just look at the amount of flooding this year as evidence!) i'd rather it snowed a bit more and we could get out on skis without paying to go to the alps! but as it is, cycling up to your axles in shit is still better than no cycling at all :p

 We tend to go on about the weather because it rains so much, not as much as Ireland though and other places probably. We rarely get hot weather also even in summer. If it froze in winter then it would be much better than the wet greasy trails many of us ride!

 Why am I listening to an American tell me what the weather, dirt and people of the UK are like?? (Zorba). We have a massive variety in these too. Where I ride most weeks is quite sandy, but if you go 10 miles down the road it's thick clay. In the SE where I am it's loads drier than the North or West. Basically, The UK is small but even then you can't generalise about the conditions we have.

 Bang on Danny. National attitude " its going to be sh!t" we all even complained about our Olympic which turned out better the we thought.

flag samsemtex (Jan 17, 2013 at 10:45)
 Spot on Gavlaa. To be fair the US may be huge but there isnt a huge variation in the terrain there. Its all pretty dry. The main thing about the weather in Britain and Ireland is the longevity of the rainfall. Anyone who farms can tell you that it has not dried out in anywhere in a year. The ground doesnt get the opportunity to dry out. The wettest part of the US is way drier than the wettest parts of Ireland and UK and they get a few months of sunshine every year...and the soil tends to drain better there. The rain doesnt seem to damage the trails in the PNE. We have really boggy forests in most places and it has been raining every week since June. If you try riding one of your favorite trails in these conditions you will sink axle deep and make shit of the trail. Also it gets pretty old having replacing seals, brake pads, bottom brackets, cassettes and basically every wearing part of your bike many multiple times a winter and then again all through the summer.

 1st half is Revoulution @ Llangynog mid wales (where this years Atherton 4x3 project finale was filmed), 2nd half is the new Antur stiniog trail @ Blaunau Ffestiniog, both are £25 for the days uplift, both have decent uplifts that will not damage your bikes, and both have very friendly staff. The trails are great and will only get better with more planned i believe, Revolution is probably aimed at the more experienced rider with mainly black or double black runs (this i hear is set to change with added trails in the future) where Antur has a blue, red, black powder + double black- both are great days out though and everyone i know that's ridden them only has good things to say.

 Thats sounds awesome! Here in japan our we gets ample rain fall, at least once a week. Out mud has lots of clay so its very tacky and gooey. I loved the trials in this video! Purely awesome!

flag Bigskins (Jan 16, 2013 at 16:02)
 It's the freeride track ain't it? The shot in the dark is the first jump, the small double he clears in the dark is the one after the berm. Then he's stepping down off the bridge near the end.

I have tried and failed all of those, I'm sure it's them.

 The frames come with a neoprene shock guard that keeps a lot of the muck off. I'm not too worried about it to be honest.

It's the black vertical line behind the shock.
