Did a ride through the Elan Valley this week and put together a 60-second edit from the trip. The roads and scenery were ridiculously good — especially early morning before traffic appeared. The roads to Claerwyn are closed when I went but cut through the barrier and you can bypass the works.

Easily one of my favourite rides in Mid Wales so far.

I just got back from a 2-day ride through North Wales where I tried to link up 5 mountain passes into one loop—and honestly, it was way more epic than I expected - weather was amazing and views jaw dropping

Started out hitting Pen y Pass and Rangers Pass, then pushed into Rhydd Forest Track which got properly rough in places. By the time I got to Dol y Goch and Hellfire Pass, I was feeling it 😅

Ended the first day camping by a lake near Bala which made it all worth it. Unreal scenery, proper mix of road + off-road, and some of the best riding I’ve done in the UK.

Would you try to do all 5 in one go—or split it differently?

Breathtaking forest and mountain trails at Rhydd heading over to the rangers pass 🤙
