Any fellow mountain bikers here? Wales is a hotbed for it after all....

Maybe I should start an MTB swingers club....might make the trails even better haha

Been riding the Afan valley since the mid 90s. May need to get an ebike soon, the legs aren't what they used to be.

There's a video doing the rounds on FB of a couple going for it next to a track. Best go a bit deeper in - the trees - if you're up to that sort of thing.

I think that’s the point

Seen the vid mentioned above. Also seen a couple going for it in real life at Nant yr Arian. It’s all good fun

That's the plan, I think I would enjoy it. He has failed to get me to love rock climbing, succeeded in making me a running addict and this is next...

Lots of interest. Thanks guys. If we get a few more I'll start looking at some dates and possible locations for a ride to run by you all. Happy to organise.

Been thinking about getting back on the bike for a while now. Would be handy if someone near me was willing to show me the ropes

Pontypridd/Rhyfelin

Got a decent bike but largely unused for the last 5 years....& getting to the age where if I don't get out soon I'll probably not get out again. As it is it'll half kill me the first few times out! The odd group ride might be enough to convince me to make the effort again!
