Wales 2010 Report

The 2010 TROG trip to Wales was an excellent long weekend; the weather was perfect, the trails were dry and there were minimal injuries/mechanicals.

We were based in 2 guest houses in Dolgellau the Heulwen & the Penycoed where we were very well looked after.  On Friday we rode the Cli-Machx black route with it’s 4km decent at the end.  On Saturday we rode the Beast at Coed y Brenin, stopping for lunch at an oasis and then heading out to the George the Third pub for (one of) JohnE’s birthday celebrations.  On Sunday we took a detour on our way home to ride the black/red route at Coed Llandegla before tackling the long journey home.

Thanks to all who came along and helped to make it a cracking weekend and special thanks to Big Chris, IanW and the various helpers for organising everything.
