Well worth a visit!
Review:
travelled up from Portsmouth to ride at Coed y Brenin, had a wicked days riding and did both this and the MBR trail there... absolutely stunning scenery coupled with single track sections that you can tell were man made due to how well they flow and the speed they allow you to carry through them... One minor off in the group all day and loads and loads of smiles!! There are a few climbs that were killers and seemed to go on forever... each bend you hoped it was the end of it but noooo, onwards and upwards it continued! Luckily all the climbs are fire roads so easy going, just steep and drain energy and enthusiasm rapidly.. it soon returns once you hit the next singletrack section and it's suddenly forgotten about as the adrenaline flows once more!

Was a long ride, although some good singletrack but quite a bit of uphill fire roads

ok
Review:
Their is way too much uphill, for the amount of dh u come down! the dh is very rocky so u cant get any speed! Also the last bit of uphill takes ages u just ride round on a tarmac road for no reason then u finally get back on the trail and the end dh bit is ok! wouldnt recomend travelling hours for it unless you have the stamina!

Needs more Singletrack
Review:
When you got off the fireroad there were of lots of fun technical trails. I did it on a 6in full suss and when you go fast the trails seemed to flow, any slower and they didn't seem to work. Someone riding with me, who is a lot faster and stronger, on a hard tail couldn't keep up. This is why a lot of people, him included, don't like this trail.
Realy to ride it fast and have fun on the singletrack you need a freeride bike with a lot of travel. With a bike like this the hills aren't rideable.
In general this is a good track for anyone who rides downhill to just push up and ride down.
Lastly, they need to do some weeding if it rains your legs get soaked.

Boring!
Review:
A long, long slog up forestry roads, a few short sections of slow single track, then roll all the way back down on forestry roads. Last 2 sections were not bad, but not worth all the hard slog. Not a patch on the other routes in Coed y Brenin. I went round part of MBR afterwards just to get some proper moutainbiking in.
