Trail / route
W2, 3000 ft of climbing, 24 miles in distance

Start point:
Afan Argoed
Afan Forest Park Visitor Centre
Cynonville
Port Talbot
SA13 3HG

The Ride:
W² takes in Their Wall & Whites Level trails which are the 2 best trails at Afan. A good mix of everything.

Half way around we arrive at the Glyncorrwg centre which is a great place to stop and refuel we will spend 30 mins here. Some nice home cooked food in the Corrwg Catch Cafe which is owned and run by a family from the village.

Everything is sign posted (Black W² signs ) so easy to follow the route. The descents of both The Wall & Whites are great with awesome views.

See you there,
Rob.

Are we talking just over the border or deeper in?

 

[Doomanic]

Details, man, we need details!

 

[Kangr]

Details, man, we need details!

I guess that its bike park wales as that's the only place I can think of that would warrant checking to see if they minded such a big group going.

 

[BJep]

Woah - I am definitely in, perfect timing

Nope, Rob's been to BPW and this is somewhere he hasn't been before.

You are correct I missed that part.... hmmm.
So if not bike park wales that leaves Afan and Cwmcarn.

 

[Kangr]

Is there any where else in South Wales?

 

[Tunny]

I'm in ??
It's gotta be Afan ain't it!

 

[Topham]

Is it brechfa?

 

[Doomanic]

Is it brechfa?

No.

 

[galaga187]

I've hired a motorhome for the weekend so it better be somewhere good.

 

[Neil rees]

Fancy sharing? ? Ever thought about doing the trails at night while you’re there?

I think I should go purely to get Rob on my way of the phat.

If I want to go I need picking up. Preferably my brother would come, as well. If I can go and he can’t, then I’ll just ditch him. He’s a little inexperienced (well I can talk), so I will be joining him round the easier trails (blue scar, etc). Will there be a group for inexperienced riders?

Not sure the Mrs would approve having house guests I’ve sold it as a romantic weekend away ?

[bikerider007]

[Wiltshire Warrior]

[nickthebee]

Dont miss the last ride of the year.

Location: VERY likely to be South Wales, but I'm checking on the venue to make sure they're good with a huge amount of ebikers rocking up!

Arrive: 9:30am
Ride Starts: 10am sharp!
Pictures: From 8:30am-9:45am get your bike pics taken for those Instabangers // Facebook

It will (hopefully) be a venue that I've heard a lot about but never been.

Cheers.
Rob.

@nickthebee

not sure my rack would take all3 bikes will looking it what's the combined weight

 

[jonathan horticulturist]

@nickthebee 23.8 kg for the Haibike and whatever weight the Spesh is (can’t find the stats anywhere, and don’t have a bike weighing scale).

Bear in mind my fat tyres (4 inch) and 2.8 on the Spesh.
