Gwenan and I share the same birthday so it has become a tradition to invite fellow female riders on this introductory off road ride around Llyn Trawsfynydd and beyond. This is ride 2 of two birthday rides and is being run in the early evening
This ride starts near the old power station and cafe and includes some woodland tracks , dual use pavement, quiet roads and purpose built off road cycle track . This section is mostly traffic free. After completing the circuit of the lake there is an optional climb up to the old Roman ampitheatre and back along a grassy bridleway and stony track to the cafe. The cafe will be closed but we can enjoy pre ride coffee, cake and lunch from around 2.30 onward aftre ride 1 at Coed Y Brenin
This ride does have some significant climbs and descents some of which have loose stones and shale and it is yet to be decided which direction we ride, depending on the recce and the riders. The optional ride does have a short section on a busy main road which may include a short walk along a pavement to ensure a safe crossing

It is suitable for Gravel bikes with care

Helmets and gloves must be worn. Bring a waterproof jacket, inner tube, drink and snack
We especially welcome newbies!
