hiya bud, Pepsi the dog loves getting on the bike, just sits on the top tube with paws on the bars.. no idea what training a dog would need for that though. I have no idea on riding near St Clears, its over an hour from the trails here but enjoy your visit !

I’ve probably seen that on TH-cam 😂

sorry for the late reply mate but I have no idea where this is, I was getting a guided tour from the locals!

haha, there is another way ? of course this is how it always goes down ;)

the plane trails were totally different before covid.. hardly any since

style 🤣

definitely! there are a few other trails I've done that with and some features that make you stop dont even appear s features in the video.. we need decent 3d video recording !

I believe you, I had a quick go on Mike's one and it was like a tank !

@ Kevin how are you finding it still?

Thanks Archie, will do !

Hi Sandra, that ride was from Trecastle, you can turn up the road where the antiques centre is from the A40 and up the top on the right is a road that leads to the roman road, that track heads towards Llandovery and just over halfway along there, another track leads off to the left and heads for the Usk reservoir - the track itself is clear and well signposted, its also at a point where there might be large puddles. if you take a look at google earth or an OS map, you can see the roman road and the trail that leads off it pretty clearly. as you follow the trail from the roman road, the res will be on your left until you end up going downhill and following a clear and obvious trail down to the res itself.. it has changed down there a bit because they have felled the trees now but its a lovely ride and I hope you find and enjoy it ! feel free to message me here.

running prime right now !

I guess thats where being an old git is useful.. you can start to buy stuff but then you dont have enough time to use the stuff you buy... haha ! first world problems I guess ;) I do love getting out on the bike, its my head space relief

good plan, ill message you !

I agree, I came around that left berm too slow and barely cleared that gap, I think after the first set of jumps its time to get on the pedals !

thanks man !

cheers mate, have you tried that trail ? its brilliant and if you can do hotstepper, you got it ! (with a recce)

@Old Blokes Who Should Know Better! iv done the top bit down to that off camber slab. I just need to do that drop now 😩

@@AverageDad2022 I reckon you got it mate seeing your vids. The drop looks worse than it is. I reckon with a bit of practise and familiarity, ill start going high over that off camber rock to maintain a bit more speed, trying to thread through the little gap next to the fence isnt easy

yes bud its amazing! it really does take it out of me though, once I've ridden this my forearms and thighs a pumped right up, must be a body position or skill issue ;)

hey yea James it is a bloody brilliant trail and if you want a similar experience with a little more 'drop', try 'Coal No Dole' - I'll check your video out mate!

@@oldblokeswhoshouldknowbett8108 Thanks, I'll check that out

Yep… so much fun

We wear loads!

is there a better place ? some great riding there dude, for all levels !

haha.. thanks mate !

good idea Richie, I had considered it but wasn't sure if it would work.. ill give it a try in a future vid.

I would defo second that. It can be quite jarring having the cuts jumping back and forth. Great run though, I did it for the first time last week, stacked it in the middle section though. Back tomorrow to work on that though. Kudos from another old bloke who probably shouldn’t 😂

Hi Ceri, I cant say on here where the trails are, please visit here and PM me. Jaden. facebook.com/groups/691153094773210

Damn dude thats a very heavy price for a failed drop but that is a horrible landing :( I am also 52 mate but all the best lines are the most dangerous... I did bottle out of the big 'Dave Jenvey' drop though, im self employed and cant take the injury time off.. are you planning on going back to do it again ?

@@oldblokeswhoshouldknowbett8108 I've done bigger drops it was just one of those days. I don't have a fear I need to crush so probably not.

No mate, must admit we were tempted but I don't really see a point in doing enduros held at bikeparks and trails centres, I can go anytime for far less money.. Im there Saturday in any case, me and Sam up there with a guy that hasn't been before so should be chilled and fun

Go for it, amazing place for any level 👌

don't blame you , it's bloody awesome !

thanks man, we are back there in 2 weeks to try and get the rest of the line sorted, really looking forward to it ! to be honest, the jumps are so good, they do all the work for you, just point and shoot !

take a look next time you're there, if you can do the tables on A470, you can do this easy

it was amazing mate, best day I've ever had on a bike.. you need to join us sometime

so good and SO FAST !!! scary fast but unique place!

yep, leaving me behind now !

thanks mate! lucky to get away with some of that ;)

haha, you never know I might actually be :D

yes he did!!! I wasn't happy when he told me he had done it but that's just because I didn't want to go to A&E ;)

can't believe he got away with it mate.. pleased that he did though

😍 thanks my man !

Helen, cycling can keep us from slowing down, it's a blessing that I can still ride and I don't take it for granted. slowing down is definitely bad for you 😉

not sure if path is legal etc, just following along bud but I have added the strava link in the description!

@@oldblokeswhoshouldknowbett8108 many thanks!!

it's in the description bud

We both use GoPro 7 black on a chest mount, recording in 1080 usually because my old Mac can't process 2.7 or 4k but the camera does all that really well.

crikey, I bet thats sketchy as a night ride.. I've had some whopping great crashes night riding, even with decent lights so I try not to do it anymore

horrendous, lot of clay mixed with aggregate around those trails, horrible for the brakes and drivetrain !

I think I know the bit you mean, the narrow part that winds around the hills on the right with a drop on the left. thats after Talybont and on the way up to Trefil quarry.

@@oldblokeswhoshouldknowbett8108 ah ok will check it out
