*** This Breeze bike ride is a beginners mountain bike ride, brought to you by qualified Fundamentals of Mountain Bike Leaders. To deliver rides as per the remit of the Fundamentals of MTB Award, we also hold a valid 2 day outdoor first aid certificate. ****
Gwenan and I share the same birthday and it has become a tradition to invite fellow female cyclists to join us on an off road ride. This is one of 2 rides on the same day the Blue MinorTaur single track trail. Although this is intended as a beginners MTB ride and you don't need any technical skills to ride it, there will be sections of single track and some short climbs - so some experience on a MTBike can help. It is fine to walk sections you are not comfortable with
For more detail on the MinorTaur:
"If you are already confident on a bike then the MinorTaur offers the perfect introduction to mountain biking. Graded blue the trail offers a reasonably flat and wide (no narrower than around 1.5m). You'll find a little climbing and descending, some fun berms and bumps but no really major climbs or descents."

If you don't have a suitable bike you can hire one at Beics Brenin
Helmets and gloves should be worn. Glasses are advisable . Bring a drink and snack.
We never leave anyone behind
