Brechfa this Sunday 8th!

Hi all! Were gonna be heading over to Brechfa this Sunday. If you fancy joinging us will leave Bristol 9am, not sure exactly how long it takes to get there, but I think its roughly 1 hour 45!

Went on saturday

Word of warning its about a 2h 30 mins drive, and the trail is very sketchy at the moment. Its not bedded in well at the moment, so the burms are very loose indeed.

We had a good laugh though

Sam - TBH I am not sure you will enjoy it. It isn't bedded in properly yet and the singletrack doesn't really flow like Afan.

There are a lot of jumps and tabletops which are pretty much unrideable if you are not 'core. We all struggled on our long travel big bikes.

Just thought I would add that to what Andy said.

You don`t reckon i can handle it eh Steve!
Sounds like I might have to wait for it to bed down, plus the drive sounds a bit long!
You fancy leading the black mountains route?

Re: Re: Re: Re: Brechfa this Sunday 8th!

I reckon you'll do fine. I'm not sure it will be your bag though TBH and it isn't really worth the drive IMO.

Yeah - sure. Raincheck (literally) Saturday?
