| Standard Dirty Weekend |
Summer Programme |
|
Dirty Weekends are open to all comers. The terrain covered varies from sheep paths to landrover tracks and takes in a few sections of tarmac. Even in drought periods there is plenty of mud and water, and you can be sure of big climbs and big descents. Depending on weather and ground conditions, and the energy levels of the riders, we ride for approximately 5-6 hours including a lunch stop.
All accommodation and food is provided (apart from evening meal on arrival day). Meals include breakfast, lunch, tea & cakes, evening meal. |

Summer Programme |

This is an introduction to the fun and excitement of real mountain biking. If you are reasonably fit and comfortable on a bike, but have never riden off-road then this is for you. Or maybe your fitness level has slipped and you need to get back into it.
Essentially, you will be doing real mountain biking on real off-road terrain, but at an easy pace, and over somewhat shorter distances than our Dirty Weekends. Some advice and riding tips are given, but it is not intended to be a skills course so much as a genuine mountain biking experience.
All accommodation and food is provided (apart from evening meal on arrival day). Meals include breakfast, lunch, tea & cakes, evening meal.
Bike hire is available at £20.00/day |

| MTB Epic Weekends |
Summer Programme |
|
Epic Weekends are long and hard! On the first day we do a warm-up ride in the local area,and the middle day's ride is over classic routes of about 50 miles (or 8 hours of riding). The last day's ride is a fun day taking in some of the best descents around.
Fitness requirements - You need good endurance and the ability to keep up a steady pace over varied terrain for long periods. You don't necessarily need to be fast, but you do need to be able to ride different types of terrain and conditions, and you need to be able to keep going. Probably more than anything, you need determination and a taste for all-day riding.
All accommodation and food is provided (apart from evening meal on arrival day). Meals include breakfast, lunch, tea & cakes, evening meal.
Arrive Thursday pm - Departure Sunday pm

Winter Programme |
|
If you have'nt been riding your bike much through the dark depths of winter, now is the time to get the bike out again. Get out into the hills with me for some real fresh air. Get those legs turning and those wheels churning. We'll take whatever the weather throws at us and enjoy it just the same, looking forward to a post-ride meal in front of the fire back at The Cwm. And if the weather is good we will enjoy a picnic stop out in the valley.
All accommodation and food is provided (apart from evening meal on arrival day). Meals include breakfast, lunch, tea & cakes, evening meal. |

| King of the Mountains Road Epics |
Summer Programme |
|
The roads of mid Wales are quiets, spectacularly scenic, and, that's right, very hilly. Come and conquer some Welsh mountains and be a King for a weekend.
The big day is the Saturday when we do a real Epic over some of the wildest hill country to be found. Expect to go relentlessly up and down for 6 hours or more. Support comes in the form of Francine with a support vehicle, bring out food and drink for roadside sustenance, and Clive on his bike as travelling mechanic and morale booster!
On Sunday we do a winding down ride on easier roads, arriving back at The Cwm mid afternoon. Recover and reflect over tea & cakes before returing to the real world. If you're up for it you have the option of staying on for the Monday and fitting in another day of riding. Bring your road bike and plenty of enthusiasm, and be a King of the Mountains.
All accommodation and food is provided (apart from evening meal on arrival day). Meals include breakfast, lunch, tea & cakes, and evening meal. |
