one vowel...Last weekend myself, my brother Neil, and my mate Ben travelled to Wales
to ride the fantastic Whites Level Trail at Glyncorrwg. It's a trail that
we've ridden numerous times before, but it's so good that it's worth going
back to again and again.In the UK, the Forestry Commission are currently doing loads of work to
build mountain bike trails on their land and provide facilities such as
bike washes, bike shops, cafes, etc. They could have screwed this up
massively, but they worked with mountain bikers to produce challenging,
technical trails.Whites Level Trail is one of these trails. It's pretty short at only 18k,
but it's packed with some of the best riding I've ever come across. It
starts with a 6k rocky, hair-pinned, singletrack climb. The rest is a
mixture of tight singletrack, rock drops, cliff traverses, berms,
steps, etc.We did a couple of laps, the second of which we took in the new July
section of trail which includes tabletops, berms and steep chutes. Grins
all round.I've put up some photos, but they don't do it anywhere near any justice.
At some point I'm going to force myself to get off and take photos of the
interesting sections rather than just ragging through them :0)
Nice one J! Looks like [censored]-loads of fun. Good to see ya here again mate
