Riding the Twrch Trail - South Wales Mountain Biking
Рет қаралды 6,905
2 жыл бұрынDo you like long fast downhill sections and steep ascents? of course you do. Well... perhaps not the steep ascents part.
I have heard so many goo things about the Twrch trail. So it is about time to visit the Cwmcarn Forest Mountainbike Centre in South Wales, to see what it is all about.

I'm so inspired by your videos that I've just got myself a Cube Sting (51yr old female). Can't wait to try it out on my local trails (FoD). Thanks for inspiring me! :-)

Good vid and edit, I live locally so know the place well, so I thought a good representation of the main features, the last bit in the car park is definitely the best part of the track. The trail is pronounced closer to turk "TOORK".

Awesome thanks, my pronunciations definitely need some work 🤣. I need to go back and ride more trails there

45 mins of climbing to begin with is pretty rough - seems well worth it for the downhill though! Your videos always do a really good job of convincing me to go and visit some of these trails haha!

45 minutes of climbing for me and my lockdown belly = 20 minutes for everyone else 😂

The climb is utter shit ngl. There are many hidden trails in cwmcarn and the climb to them suck

You should try some off piste areas in South Wales like smilog woods and Barry slidings. They are some of my favourite places to ride definitely worth a visit

Yeah I need to explore the area a lot more. Can’t wait.

Superb trails and a great trail centre that does amazing cake. FYI, Twrch is pronounced Took. 😉

Haha I knew I would be way off with my pronunciation 😂. Cheers dude!

@@bikeandbeyond No worries bud. I spent years mispronouncing it, lol! Make a point of asking now how to pronounce it correctly wherever I go in Wales. 👍

Try cwmcarn trail centre or ps cycles. That should take you to the carpark.
