7 places left
We will travel through the Gwydir Forest on some nice smooth fire tracks, and you will be able to gain some experience. For those of you who feel a little more adventurous, we will be able to take a few of the more challenging routes and pathways just to spice things up a little.
Mae hon yn daith beicio mynydd i ddechreuwyr, byddwn yn teithio drwy goedwig Gwydir ar rai traciau tân llyfn neis, a byddwch yn gallu cael rhywfaint o brofiad, ar gyfer y rhai ohonoch sy'n teimlo ychydig yn fwy anturus, byddwn yn gallu cymryd ychydig o'r llwybrau mwy heriol a llwybrau dim ond er mwyn wneud pethau mwy ddiddorol.
Dewch a bwyd a ddiodydd os gwelwch yn daa, does dim caffi ar y ffordd.
What to bring
Bike: a mountain bike or hybrid (no road bikes)
Helmet: OutdoorLads requires you to wear one
Clothing: lightweight and layered, shorts are great even in rain as they allow free movement of your legs. Avoid jeans, which are uncomfortable when wet, and baggy tracksuit bottoms, which can snag in the chain. Colourful and/or reflective clothing will make you more visible to other road users
Footwear: grippy soles if your bike has standard pedals
Gloves: cycle gloves help avoid blisters, and are good in the cold
Punctures: spare inner tube, bike tyre pump and tyre levers
Tools: any special tools that your bike needs
Small snacks: such as chocolate or energy bars
Plenty of water: in bottle/s on your bike or in a daysack/bladder

Eye protection: avoid getting grit or insects in your eyes; sunglasses are OK if they are not made of glass and not too shaded
Sun cream: take care, even on overcast days
