2nd August 2008 Mt. Biking: Brecon Becons Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: 20 ish Sea Temperature: Weather: Sunny at times Max Speed: Distance Covered: 37km (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) An Mtbbritain forum ride in the black mountains. We done a version of the Talgath black route but going the other way round. We started at the Mynydd Du Forest and climbed up towards Y Dâs which I can honesty say is the most scary descent I have ever done rocks, drops, barbed wire fence on one side then really deep ruts nearer the bottom, there were quite a few bits I had to walk A bit of a road work then abit of a push up the next bit then a really good grassy descent through the ferns and through a ford, then a traverse along to another monster of a climb. We all have a bit of rest at the top while trying to keep the sheep away from our food. The next descent was long and grassy but quite shallow but with just a bit of pedaling it was really good fun and really fast! Back onto some road then picked up another bridle way with another big push up then a ride across the top to the Mynydd Du Forest. The descent in the forest was the 2nd most scary descent I have done it was really eroded rocky lots of trees and very dark . It was abit like the chute on Mach 3 trail but steeper, muddier, with with baby head sized boulders. Some of the people I was with also rode some of the downhill course but I whimped it, I need a bigger bike! A really fantastic day but really hard work would like to try it in the other direction as well |
