About MBR

Over the next few weeks contractors will be on MTB trails carrying out maintenance work. Please look out for 'men at work' signs on the single tracks and be prepared to dismount.

A technical trail offering some sweeping descents (Bugsy) as well as Coed y Brenins most demanding stone pitched sections (Badger and The Beginning of the End).
