Steve and I met at the Coed y brenin car park around 9am and set off to do The Beast trail which is essentially a combination of 'The Dragons Back' and the 'MBR' trails.

The first bit was quite rocky and bumpy and we were beginngin to wish we had full suspension bikes, then there were a few climbs followed by the amazing flowing descent of 'the Pink Heiffer' and 'The Big Dug'. Some fire-road climbs and nice double track across open countryside before the very technical descent of Gomez (which I couldn't ride) and quite a few other good technical singletrack sections.

All in all an excellent trail with lots of variety and tonnes of really good single track. Steve had mechanical problems and ended up pushing his bike for the last few miles and the problems were holding him up most of the way around. We took it fairly leisurely with lots of little stops to chat to people on the way and admire the views and it took us exactly 3 hours, but could be done quite a bit quicker.

I'll certainly be back for more.
