Ever since Dafydd Davies planted his spade at Coed Y Brenin in the mid 90s, the trail network has grown and evolved with the ever changing developments of the bikes and the sport as we see it today. Back then, the idea of throwing yourself down Bike Park Wales, Revolution or Antur Stiniog would have only been for elite riders, or crazy young people without a care in the world!<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward 20 years, and you see a wide and broad spectrum of riders at bike parks and trail centres across Wales every weekend. Two year old children ragging it down blue trails on their balance bikes, XC whippets, women and men riding out for a trail\/enduro session and E-bikes for riders who improving their health and wellbeing. You see it all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2025\/04\/4116_2384_1825_wales-mountain-biking-smiling-woman.jpg\" alt=\"wales-mountain-biking-smiling-woman.jpg\" width=\"414\" height=\"311\" \/> But there is a bigger world outside of the forest centres and bike parks to explore. The \u2018natural\u2019 playground of bridleway networks and tracks are a mountain biker\u2019s nirvana. The freedom and liberation of cycling in the wilds of Wales is something you never forget. A sparse and rugged landscape of ever changing trails. The mountainous challenges of Snowdon, Cadair Idris and the Brecon Beacons can take the most seasoned riders out of their comfort zone with one poor decision of line choice on the steep, technical rock strewn paths.<\/p>\n<p>Then there\u2019s the \u2018remote, green desert of Wales\u2019 that\u2019s our backyard and playground. The Cambrian Mountains are the spine of mid Wales with the Elan Valley situated right in the middle. The lake district of Wales is a mixture of big climbs and fast flowing descents that weave there way in and out of the reservoirs.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the <u> Giant Full Suspension Mountain bike <\/u> \u00a0range or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/bikes\/merida\/mountain-bikes\"> Merida mountain bicycles <\/a> .<\/p>\n<p>After the usual winter of never ending rain, the spring has been surprisingly dry, very. The Elan Valley supplies Birmingham with its drinking water, and had less than an inch of rain fall in the whole of April. Not great for the reservoirs, but great for guiding!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 600px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/info\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/222\/2025\/04\/8816_2384_1826_wales-mountain-biking-womens-group.jpg\" alt=\"wales-mountain-biking-womens-group.jpg\" width=\"414\" height=\"311\" \/> We\u2019ve guided three Trans Cambrian crossings this year, and all have been dry and dusty, which is very welcome on the grassy climbs of day one. The route takes us from the English border to the Welsh coast and Dyfi Estuary over three days, 186km in distance and 3700m of climbing. It crosses the Cambrians three times and gives you a real feel of adventure with a real mix of terrain each day. Long may the fine weather last, the end of October might be stretching it!<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve also been fortunate enough to guide the team from Madison who were launching the new packs from USWE with brand ambassador, world cup\/champion and all round mountain bike legend Steve Peat. Typically it rained that morning after being 23 degrees the day before, guess I spoke too soon on the whole drought issue! However it didn\u2019t dampen spirits and the opportunity to ride with Steve on our favourite trails won\u2019t be something we forget in a hurry.<\/p>\n<p>See our <u><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/bikes\/giant\/mountain-bikes\"> entry level Giant mountain bike <\/a><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s going to be a busy season, and we\u2019re really looking forward to guiding and meeting new friends, and seeing some familiar faces returning to our backyard.<\/p>\n<p>Phill &amp; Polly<\/p>\n<p>SHOP\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edinburghbicycle.com\/bikes\/mountain-bikes\"> MOUNTAIN BIKES <\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<div id=\"youtube13486\" class=\"youtubeBlock youtubeBlockResponsive16by9\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"blog-entry-social-media\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"blog-entry-tags\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wales has rapidly become one of the world\u2019s best destinations to mountain bike, ever since Dafydd Davies planted his spade at Coed Y Brenin in the mid 90s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":239,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mountain-bikes"],"featured_image_src":null,"author_info":{"display_name":"edinburghbicycle","author_link":"https:\/\/blog.citrus-lime.com\/ebco\/blog\/author\/edinburghbicycle"},"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Mountain Biking in Wales - the new place to go!
