An evening off-road ride in Hafren Forest

We will start at Hafren Forest, Rhyd Y Benwch carpark, following the trail alongside the River Severn which will take us up to the Blaen Hafren waterfall, which is stunning if we've had a lot of rain! We will follow forestry tracks through the forest which are fine for gravel bikes, hybrids with off-road tyres and mountain bikes. We will eventually ride up a gentle hill, taking our time and waiting at the top for everyone, to follow the Maesnant Loop before descending back down to the River Severn and the Severn-Break-its-Neck waterfalls, again spectacular after rain. There is a short section of road which will take us back to the carpark where we started.

A gentle evening ride around Hafren Forest, Llanidloes whilst the evenings are light.

We will be riding on gravel forestry tracks with a short section of tarmac road at the end back to the carpark.

There will be plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the views, chat and take a photo or 2. As there is no cafe along the route, at the end of the ride I will be serving hot chocolate and biccies from my campervan (Dairy free and Vegan friendly), you are welcome to bring your own too.

As we are riding off road, helmets and gloves are a must, please bring a lightweight jacket or hoody as the evening can be a bit cooler than the day. Please bring a drink and a snack. You also need to be self sufficient in case of a mechanical breakdown so bring a spare inner tube/sealant (if you run tubeless)

First timers welcome! If you are new to Breeze, riding off road, we are very friendly, we ride at a gentle social pace, lots of chatting and laughing and we wait for everyone! If you are unsure if your bike is suitable please drop Celeste a message before the ride.
