What to Expect:
Accompanied under 18 year olds are welcome on this ride
We’ll be riding a mixture of trails - mainly green and blues, plus fire roads and bridleway sections. There will likely be mud! 2-3 hours expected duration.
It’s a super loose structure; we won’t be rushing to get done, we won’t be pushing to tick off features, and we won’t be forcing anyone to ride anything they aren’t comfortable with- the aim is to have fun and ride bikes!
No pressure, just good times!

Where to Meet Us:
Charlie will be waiting in Byrgwm car park at 09:45, ready to ride at 10 am (we’re not going to hang around too long, so try to be on time so you don’t miss the ride). It’s free to park here.
You can contact our ambassadors via the event page on our facebook group (link at the top of this page). If you are running late, please let them know.

What Should you Bring?:
Equipment
It’s super important to note that we will not ride with anyone who is not wearing a helmet!
This is a mountain bike ride, not suitable for gravel or hybrid bikes. E-bikes and ‘normal’ 😂 bikes welcome.
Other than that, the protective gear that you bring is up to you- we normally ride with knee / elbow pads and maybe gloves, depending on the conditions. You’ll also need a bike that is trail suitable, safe and in working order so we can avoid repairs at the start of the day.
Food
Make sure you bring plenty of water for the ride. Please bring plenty of snacks for along the way, there is no cafe or anywhere to buy food at the meet point or along the way.
Facilities:
There are basic facilities at this meet this spot:
Parking (free)
Toilets
What Will it Cost?
The ride itself is totally free, we won’t be charging you anything for our company. And the carpark is also totally free, so find a spot and get your gear on!
We will have a couple of hours to ride this evening, but there is no pressure at all if you need to dip out at any point.
Important Info:
Photos:
Our ambassadors may take photos or videos during the ride to use on social media or in promotions. It’s a great way to show others what our rides are really like and help those who might be nervous feel more confident about joining next time.
If you'd prefer not to be included in any photos or videos, just let your ambassador know at the start of the ride — no problem at all!
