Reviews for Coed y Brenin Mountain Bike Trail Centre

Summary:
Cyflym Coch - Great trail, great descents

Review:
With slightly more time in Brenin, I now feel ready to take on the Beast next visit. Not as much technical steps, etc as the shorter trail but some amazing flowing downhill sections with short climbs in between and many possible loops. Could ride it all day.

Summary:
Disappointed

Review:
Headed up here with 3 other lads, all ridden trails before, but usually steer clear of black runs. Decided to follow the dragons back markers. Two minutes into the ride I'm over the handlebars, according to a friend behind, 'performing the scorpion manoeuvre,' which we laugh about now. The smiles soon turned to frowns upon realising I'd dented my new tubeless rim! Went back and bought inner tubes from the very helpful staff, then cracked on again. The track starts off looking like good fun with a good run but then you hit a big fire road. Once up this never ending road you get to ride down another trail, but you need to keep peddling to get speed up to really enjoy it, but then your peddles keep hitting rocks! Then you get to another fire road! I'm bored now so I'll finish off, so basically you spend all day riding up fire roads to do 'flat' downhills, full of rocks. None of the group really enjoyed it and won't be returning, it's been nick named the Dragons Arse and anyone who enjoys it must be riding it on an effing crosser!

Summary:
Great centre

Review:
I normally ride the trails only once and so i have to ride cautiously thus when I do come across an feature I dont really get to enjoy it and I dont go back to really hit it. All the trails Ive ridden here have a horrible rock garden section and I hate it. I still give it 4 stars in most due to the quality of track, location and some areas you can have fun.

Great place

Its is great, but

Review:
I really liked this centre and the trails, but a few of them are reused a bit too much. If you make your way through the colours Blue to Red etc then the first half of the Blue trail you will do again and again.

There is a descent bike park to try out the advanced features and I do really like the trail entrances. Some of them have a modern art type structure to ride through. E.g. a giant suspension fork or Minotaur horns.

The cafe and shops are really good and car parking is plentiful.

It is definitely worth a visit, but I would put it behind Afan.
