This is one of the events organised as part of Big Spring Camp 2026.

Today's ride will be lead by our partners OUTMTB, so if you're on Spond please sign up there and leave this event page for the others.

Join OUTMTB for this ride at the UK’s first (and still one of the best) mountain biking trail centres. 

After the inevitable kit faff that is involved with all mountain biking trips we will head up to Coed Y Brenin on the Sunday morning and the plan is to ride the best bits of the red and black trails

Please note this ride is only suitable for experienced MTB riders on good mountain bikes. (Not suitable for beginners or hybrid bikes, sorry!)

What to bring

  1. A good quality mountain bike. Preferably full suspension, but hard-tails are fine.However, MTB tyres are a must.
  2. At least one spare inner tube, tyre levers and pump for your bike. Make sure it's the correct type and size. Plus any special tools  your bike needs.
  3. Food - lunch, bring small snacks such as chocolate bars and energy foods.
  4. Plenty of water (minimum 2lts)
  5. Eye protection - impact from a bee, grit or even a fly at speed is extremely unpleasant, sunglasses may do if not made of glass and not too shaded.
  6. Clothing: choose suitable clothes and footwear for the weather forecast and time of year. You will be exercising so lightweight layered clothing is best. Shorts are best even in rain, as they allow free movement of your legs. Jeans are useless if it rains but tracksuit bottoms need to be not too baggy or they may snag in the chain and cause an accident. You'll need  flat soled trainers for standard pedals.
  7. Cyclist's Helmet - Outdoorlads policy asks you to wear a helmet to events. A full face helmet is highly recommended as are gloves, knee and elbow pads
  8. Bag you will need a small day-sack to carry essential additional warm clothing, water and an emergency snacks.
  9. A change of clothing, towel etc for when we finish as you'll probably be covered in mud when we finish!

Remember to M-check your bike before you leave home

Any questions, please ask the leader

Food & drink

Bring plenty of snacks.  There is a cafe at the visitor centre at the end of the day.
