With Christmas and New Year done and dusted January can be a tough month. It’s dark, it’s bound to be wet and most likely it’ll be cold too. But we are made of tough stuff here in the UK, if you can find the motivation to get your riding gear on and brave those first few minutes of skin tingling cold, the rewards are great. Grab a group of mates, head for the hills and embrace the winter, it’s not going anywhere soon so why not make the most of it! Get out there and enjoy the trails whatever the weather, we guarantee you won’t regret it.
In the latest edit from BikePark Wales; Rowan Sorrell, Rob Williams and Will Soffe enjoy a day at BikePark Wales in Wales’s finest weather. They managed to take in a mixture of the surfaced trails that amazingly have more grip when they are wet as well as some of the more natural, rooty and rocky offerings which also hold up incredibly well in the winter conditions. Smiles for miles for these guys after a day in the park.

Bike wise, I have a full on DH bike and a hardtail that I use for single track riding.
Don't have a 160mm. Which one do I take, DH or hardtail?
Cool, thanks guys, I'll give it a try one of these weekends!
Most of the trails don't get effected by the rain whatsoever, and still run real fast.
Even the mega rooty trails are serious fun in the rain.
Some of our group think that BPW is slightly better than Morzine!? Its all of the fun of morzine, but not as much hand cramp and arm pump.
Yeeowww!
