Trail Centres

A good reason for a visit to the UK are the trail centres, where there is often a cafe, bathrooms and showers, a bike wash and a bikeshop. You just pay at the car park and the trails are free. Most of the trail centres are operated by the Forestry Commission and located in beautiful scenic surroundings. Coed Llandegla facilities are run by rider-owned Oneplanet Adventure company though. Coed y Brenin was the first trail centre in the UK and offers lots of rocky single track in the area of the Welsh gold rush of the 19th century. The Welsh word Coed means forest in English and Coed y Brenin stands for Forest of the King.

It's like a biker's paradise Manny! Such beautifull trails and the giant fork is so cool!

What was that after it? A gaint rim or tyre?

RideOn!

Ricardo, I believe you're right! At Coed y Brenin there is a symbol at the head of each trail, one of those is a giant fork, the other one looks like a giant rim!
RideOn!

Great riders Birgit and Manny!
Must have been a ride of life time.
Going on a vacation to a new area to ride with your loved one is beautiful.
Im touched being able to watch these videos of your vacation.

Most wives bagger their husband and hinder him no to ride.
Manny loves to ride and so does Birgit, Im touched!
