Mountain Goats MTB Club




  
    
    
      Welcome...........
      
Graham
      and Chris chew the fat before doing the downhill track off Bedwas mountain
      down to the full moon house on the Sirhowy trail. Last weekend included a
      lap of Cwmcarn, but poor old Lizzie wrecked her freewheel on the first
      climb on the way there (it's all the power in those legs!) which cut short
      her ride, worse luck. Next week there's the Real
      Ale Wobble..anyone fancy going up for the Saturday? I might get the
      tent out, IF the weather is favourable! Graham has posted some details of
      his recent American trip here...
      have a look at the photos, it looks quite different from Wales!
Rides are organised  every
      weekend on Saturday. The
      rides start at 8:30 am from the car park in
      Nelson (follow the link on the left for a
      map) and cover most parts of the Valleys, with forays further afield to
      the Brecon Beacons, Black Mountains, Forest of Dean and  Mid Wales.
      The Forest Enterprise tracks at Cwmcarn and  Afan Argoed are often
      visited, and we  organise trips to North Wales to sample the Coed-y-Brenin,
      Nant-yr-Arian and Bettws-y-Coed routes during the summer months. 
      
The Club attends various organised events
      every year, and provides
      support to club members thanks to the help of a Sportlot grant which has
      allowed the Club to purchase a set of bike tools and a pop-up gazebo to
      allow bike servicing in the dry, whatever the weather. If we've gone
      camping to the event, we have a club barbeque the evening before the race
      and have a good time.
      The Club has also  organised longer
      trips to the Lake District (Tim Woodcock's Lakeland Loop), the Sierra
      Nevadas in Spain (check out the excellent  http://www.switch-backs.com
      to see where we went), Morzine/Les Gets and last year we went to Les Arcs.
      We try to offer a varied mountain biking experience
      that means the weekend ride is most definitely the high spot of your
      week.....why not come along and give it a go?
