Easy Rides...

Route/Name: Coed Moel Famau Loop
Grade: Easy / Beginner
Total distance: 12.2km
Approx. ride time: 2hr

*
3d view
This short ride meanders its way through the forest of Moel Famau, climbing steadily to a high point at the edge of the forest with spectacular views over the Merseyside and beyond. Then after a great descent you re-enter the forest to ride back to your start point on the lower slopes of the Clwydian Range.


Route/Name: Cilcain Short
Grade: Easy / Beginner
Total distance: 8.5km
Approx. ride time: 1hr

*
3d view
This short ride from Cilcain up to the ridge of the Clwydian Range allows the less experienced rider to take in the impressive views over the Vale of Clwyd towards Snowdonia. After a steady climb from the village along the old county road, there is an exciting singletrack descent back to the village for a well deserved drink at the village pub.

Route/Name: Around The Lake
Grade: Easy / Beginner
Total distance: 15.2Km
Approx. ride time: 1hrs

*
3d view
The baby brother of the ‘Up To The Lake’ route, this ride allows you to circumnavigate Llyn Brenig, a large man made reservoir. With its start point at the visitor centre cups of tea and cakes are never too far away. The route over the dam wall and around the shore line provides that wilderness feeling, whilst not having to endure the long climbs and difficult terrain to get there. Certainly one for all the family with only one noticeable climb.
