Overview
Come and join us to explore the best of what Snowdonia and North Wales have to offer, with endless potential for gravel bike and bike packing exploration. On our doorstep, we have the Gwydir, Penmachno, Beddgelert, Bryn Engan, Coed y Brenin, Clocaenog, and Newborough forests. All are within easy reach and boast miles of accessible gravel tracks and trails to explore. This, coupled with open moorland and the spectacular scenery of mountains, lakes, rivers, and the sea, makes for an unforgettable biking experience.
On this course, we will cover extensive off-road gravel riding, as well as provide a taster of loading up your bike and spending a night out in the wilds. We will teach important and useful skills, such as riding techniques to level up your abilities on the bike. The course will also look at bike and equipment setup, what to carry, and fundamental safety checks and maintenance to keep your bike running smoothly while on your adventure. Whether we ride out of the door at Plas y Brenin or provide transport to a nearby venue, convenience is key. Book residential and enjoy the comfort of an en-suite room with all meals taken care of. Spend your downtime socialising in our fully stocked bar, boasting a one-of-a-kind view of Snowdon, and share the day’s tales with others. During your stay, you can also make use of our drying room facilities and climbing wall. From the time you arrive until you depart, we aim to cater to your every need.
Mountain bikes are available for hire, subject to availability, at the cost of £35 per day. To make your enquiry, please contact us via e-mail at info@pyb.co.uk.
