Wouldn't mind getting to know others if it's just for the cycle tracks or more off roads.

Great idea.. a mass swinging ride out. Can we have a dog friendly site though as we always ride with our 3 trail dogs

Yes but when your going up trails nearly as quick as most people go down them it's a totally different buzz and different style of riding, it's a strange feeling lol

"Where is best place to cycle in snowdonia?"

Depends what you're looking for. 3 main 'trail centres' the 2 above and Penmachno. There's Antur Stiniog for uplifted rocky goodness.

The best stuff is tucked away on natural trails or of piste though.

I really like the descent back to Capel Curig on the Crafnant loop.

Dont forget Snowdon too, just dont underestimate it.

I've done Revs a few times not made it to Dyfi yet though.

Revs is great. Just start gentle, there's no 'easy' lines but the free ride or red DH are both good places to start.

Did the Dyfi Enduro years ago, there are some super technical trails up there. Cli-Machx is probably still the best, it had been improved loads over the years
