Road and Off Road
As a club we take part in all types of cycling activities from road racing to sportives and downhill mountain biking to cyclocross, whether it be for competition or for fun.
Road Cycling
Our ethics within the club is to encourage people into the sport and offer as much guidance and support to people. Our usual club run on Sundays usually consists of a 40 - 50 mile loop with a cafe stop half way. This is usually done at a reasonable pace on average 17mph, and we will never let anyone drop behind, we will always slow the pace to suit the slowest rider.
We are now in the process of developing a easier more relaxed paced ride for newer members and those who are looking for a more social sunday ride with like minded people. These rides will start from Caernarfon, by the Spar shop on the Maes at 10am on Sundays. No they will not be fast and no you will not be left on your own. And yes we will stop for cake and coffee/tea. Keep your eye on the forums for more information.
On the last Sunday of each month we have a new members ride which is an easy 25-30 mile loop starting from the Menai Bridge. So don't be shy come along and join us.
Mountain Biking
Mountain biking is long established in North Wales offering some of the UK's premier purpose built forestry centres including Coed Y Brenin near Dolgellau and Gwyder Forest Bewts Y Coed and Coed Llandegla.
Beddgelert Forest situated just behind Snowdon itself, was also once the host to one of the original UK mountain bike races back in the early 1990's, which was famous for having the longest descent in the country. For the more adventurous rider the Llanberis Path up Snowdon or the Pony Track up Cadair Idris offers proper mountain riding opportunities. North Wales is also synonymous with Enduro racing with the Meridia 100km event held across the Clywidian Hills around Ruthin and the Dyfi Enduro held in the Dyfi Forest Machynlleth.
The club promotes mountain biking in North Wales and has strong links with the Welsh XC racing scene and other North Wales mountain biking clubs.
Cyclo Cross
We have riders that take part in our local
cyclocross events during the summer and winter months. The races
are very popular and a great way to get out for an hours blast.
