Presenting A Dogs Life season 2. We’re calling this season “The Travel Diaries”.

The aim of this season is to get you guys excited to travel and explore new locations on your bike again. We wanted to document my favorite places to ride. Some places I have ridden lots before, and some are new locations that we can explore for the first time together in these episodes.

It’s all about fun and friends. After such a tricky year for everyone, and not being allowed to travel or socialize, we wanted to remind you what travelling and exploring new places on your bike was like again.

For episode three the team stayed a bit closer to home and hit up three of the best bike parks in Wales, UK. Bike Park Wales, Revolution and Dyfi. Check it all out, but a pretty amazing selection of trails and spots around in the UK right now.

 For those who need to fly to Wales, there is Cadiff Airport 30min from BPW and Bristol Airport an extra hour. Much closer than London or Birmingham.

 Watched this last night. Was really bummed when our local bikepark closed permanently this past summer. Now the closest one is within 3.5-4 hours. These blokes got 3 word class options within that same drive. I'm jealous.

 Its not just those either.... Black mountain bike park (called black mountain cycle centre) and Stiniog are two other great uplift bikeparks all within the same area of these three. And then there are loads of smaller ones who do uplift on weekends too.

 I can't believe how boosty Dan still gets! I know that he has a little bit of home field advantage, but still.

 Three amazing bikeparks, but you cannot say best in Wales without mentioning Black Mountains. I moved.to the area two and a half years ago and my visits were always to the bigger and more well known parks mentioned here. Finally made it to BMCC this summer and it is without a doubt my favourite UK Bikepark. It's not the biggest, but the place has both an infectious charm to it in its simplicity, and also the ability to.make you feel a much better rider than you are. It is just beautifully built, yet so understated.

 So lucky to be within two hours of Revs, Antur and Dyfi. All different and fantastic days out. Need to get BPW and Black Mountain ticked off in 2022.
