sorry for diggin up such an old thread but i think it has to be done...
ive recently got back into cycling (august last year) after a few years out, and am looking for someone/ a group to ride with. all the boys i used to ride with have lost interest/sold their bikes etc. and its getting pretty boring going out on my own all the time. i live in Maesteg, just over the hill from Afan, if anybody is interested message me or reply in this thread
Hi, i work for leisure lakes bikes in manchester and i'm being sent down to newport in wales for a few months to work at our new store down there for a bit. I was just wondering if anyone can recommend any good riding? i know i have countless trails and trail centers around but is there anything good for my DJ bike?
There used to be a great dirt jump place in caerphilly. Will ask around if there still there. Think there cslled jasons trails. Also if you can find the maencllwyd pub in rudry lanes accross the road in the upper car park. If you follow the track up 100 meters there is a few jumps up there.
The Caerphilly trails that you're thinking of got shut down years ago but Jason rebuilt a whole new spot about a year ago with like 4 or 5 lines that go up in difficulty. He's also building a new skatepark with a jump box skatepark that opens in about a month although the bowl and jump boxes etc are open now.
There's also moos trails in Swansea, check my profile for photos/videos, type in Caerphilly trails and rampworld on facebook for the other spots.
I'm moving the Wales in May for a couple of months and I was wondering if anyone has suggestions of where to ride? I'd be very content with dj, dh, or xc. Also, I am not bringing my bikes out due to cost of shipping and my living arrangements is there anywhere to rent bikes? I can't imagine a summer without bikes!
