Stop If You're Near, But Don't Make a Special Trip

Review:
Rode this on 05/07/09 & it certainly is enjoyable. The centre is a little confusing in how the trails are graded. This one is the most straight forward, it's graded red and the map is marked red (the other trails are graded red (blue map) and black (orange map)).

It differs from most other trail centres as you start at the top of the hill, then head for a singletrack descent to a lake, next you head cross country through several farm gates. Next it's more singletrack descent, followed by the aptly named leg burner climb, then a final descent back to the car park.

The area needs more trails to be built as the other red trail shares some of this one and the black trail is only graded black due to distance (not technical content). For this reason it isn't worth making a special trip, but if you were travelling from say Brechfa to Machynthlleth (or vice versa), it's worth stopping.

Review:
leg burner really is that, but followed by a raft of singletrack and flowing trails, is hard to beat.

Review:
we rode this trail in heavy showers and found it still good to ride, as has been said the leg burner does burn, but the single track down through a pine forrest is exelent , we will be going again soon
