Reviews for Afan Forest Mountain Bike Trails

Summary:
A dissapointment

Review:
the 1st hour is so boring, massive climb on forest roads. would rate about 4 out of 10, but when your at the top i would rate the down hill section 10 out of 10. the down hill bit is better than cwmcarn and alot of other places, so fast with sharpe bends and scary cliff drops on the sides, i couldnt beleive how fast. well worth a ride apart from the start. also the car park is miles away from the trail so you need to ride for ages to get started and back to the car park.

Summary:
Flowing red route, not technically difficult, all fireroad climbs, some long

Review:
A tight singletrack with plenty of flowing sections. More of an easy-moderate red route and best of the Afan trails for beginners. Many of the sections are cross-country oriented rather than challenging downhill. Although the route does include some height it is mainly sheltered and is great for riding in rough weather as the trail drains well. More experienced riders should look to the other Afan valley trails first.

Summary:
Good but hard

Review:
Very long flat trail part at the start that's quite boring, then you hit a massive climb on forest roads, which does get a little annoying and is a bit of a killer (I did go on a roasting hot day, so that probably didn't help). Excellent downhill, however, I was a bit too shattered at the end to enjoy it fully.

Review:
Fantastic ride with great technical sections to test your nerves and skills. It can be ridden by novices and experts. Just take the ride to your own pace and don't take the risk if you feel unsure onthe technical descent.
On my second visit the ride was even more enjoyable, I manage to complete the big climb without stopping. I did find it ended too soon compared to when I first did the ride. This is one ride that'll leave a smile on your face, no matter the weather.
