Every spring in particular I tend to look at going to Wales. I have heard sooo much about the trails here!
However, although trails are rideable all year round, weatherwise the area is very unpredictable. And, in the spring I yearn for sun. On top of this, the added fear of driving on the “wrong” side of the road, or forgetting that I should … and that the trails in the end might be too tough for me, or at least too tough for me to ride alone …. tends to make me change my mind.
It feels sooo much easier to drive south. A bigger chance of sunshine, a bigger chance of DRY trails, I can be in my comfort zone when driving there, and .. trails might still be too tough, but rarely so, as Wales is more into man-made trails than Spain or France.
I’ll think about it a couple of more weeks.
Afan Forest, it would be a pleasure to finally meet you! Brecon Beacons, dito!
A great book for an overview of all trails in the UK: Mountain Biking Britain.
