Fundamental of Mountain Biking Ride - Nant Fawr Woods

The ride will start in Heath Park for a chat and bike check then make our way through the park and ride on a short stetch of road to the Roath Park Wild Gardens and into Nant Fawr Woods. From here we ride up the gentle incline past Llanishen reservoir towards Lisvane where we will turn and ride down taking in some trails through the woods. The route is likely to be wet and muddy in places.

There is a mixture of terrain with a short road section. There will be gravel, some mud, grass and a few very short more technical sections between the fields where you may wish to walk. Mountain bike is most suitable but a gravel bike or hybrid with off road tyres will work too.
