Riding the Twrch Trail - South Wales Mountain Biking

[@tony67jones91]

Glad you enjoyed my local can't belive you went clay pigeon shoot half a mile from my house give me shout next your down il show you some off piste stuff 😁👍

[@bikeandbeyond]

That sounds awesome dude. I love a bit of off piste!

[@snas1686]

Yeah nice to see ppl ride our local trails. Seen sam pigrim up here a while ago

[@roof30]

I'm so inspired by your videos that I've just got myself a Cube Sting (51yr old female). Can't wait to try it out on my local trails (FoD). Thanks for inspiring me! :-)

[@bikeandbeyond]

Nice work on the Cube. FoD is an awesome place to have as your local too. Jealous!

[@strutstipher]

Good vid and edit, I live locally so know the place well, so I thought a good representation of the main features, the last bit in the car park is definitely the best part of the track. The trail is pronounced closer to turk "TOORK".

[@bikeandbeyond]

Awesome thanks, my pronunciations definitely need some work 🤣. I need to go back and ride more trails there

[@DJFXC]

45 mins of climbing to begin with is pretty rough - seems well worth it for the downhill though! Your videos always do a really good job of convincing me to go and visit some of these trails haha!

[@bikeandbeyond]

45 minutes of climbing for me and my lockdown belly = 20 minutes for everyone else 😂

[@snas1686]

The climb is utter shit ngl. There are many hidden trails in cwmcarn and the climb to them suck

[@yourmtblocal]

Yep top knoch trail center that! Great review mate!

[@bikeandbeyond]

Cheers pal. Yeah it’s a great place to ride

[@yaface120]

Looks sick will definitely be trying this one

[@buggs9950]

As soon as I saw it I knew you'd regret that scotch egg!

[@bikeandbeyond]

Haha wayyyyyy to heavy to have before a big climb 😂🤣😂

[@buggs9950]

@@bikeandbeyond Definitely. My local bakery does black pudding scotch eggs. Those things are dangerous!

[@TidyDawg]

Nice one man! Been looking forward to this vid, I'm working up to this trail this summer :)

[@bikeandbeyond]

Cheers dude. There are a few trails up there to try. Definitely worth a visit.

[@aneczka2114]

You got to try all the trails there..its one of my favorite places in the uk to go

[@bikeandbeyond]

Will definitely be going back.

[@fabienleguilcher4776]

You should try some off piste areas in South Wales like smilog woods and Barry slidings. They are some of my favourite places to ride definitely worth a visit

[@bikeandbeyond]

Yeah I need to explore the area a lot more. Can’t wait.

[@AdventureTrailsMTB]

Yep that's on my list

[@bikeandbeyond]

Some super fast sections on there. I want to go back and scope out the downhill sections!

[@DougMackenzieMTB]

Superb trails and a great trail centre that does amazing cake. FYI, Twrch is pronounced Took. 😉

[@bikeandbeyond]

Haha I knew I would be way off with my pronunciation 😂. Cheers dude!

[@DougMackenzieMTB]

@@bikeandbeyond No worries bud. I spent years mispronouncing it, lol! Make a point of asking now how to pronounce it correctly wherever I go in Wales. 👍

[@thomashutchinson1]

Looks like a super trail. Was that bad Hutch at the end?

[@bikeandbeyond]

Yeah you know it. He grew a beard as a disguise. Not fooling anyone!

[@davidamora2565]

what is the name of the trail head when I search it on google maps? thank you!!!

[@bikeandbeyond]

Try cwmcarn trail centre or ps cycles. That should take you to the carpark.

[@davidamora2565]

@@bikeandbeyond thank you!!

[@Ziggy.exeter]

Have you ever considered trying E bikes?

[@bikeandbeyond]

Would love to. But with two bikes already (and a road bike for commuting) I am running out of space 🤣
