The red route ~ "Gorlech Trail" opened in 2006, the trail starts in Abergorlech and has already built itself quite a reputation as a challenging, technical route for the intermediate to advanced rider
A 19km trail full of berms, drops, table tops & double jumps challenging enough for the hardcore freerider yet with enough chicken runs and rollable sections for those increasing in confidence. At the finish why not quench your thirst with a pint in the bike friendly Black Lion in Abergorlech village at the trailhead. It's as exhilarating as you make it.
The green/blue routes opened early 2007, a fun route for all the family, an excellent introduction to mountain biking with plenty of single tracks that make the most of the forest and terrain .
The Black route is due to open this year and will be part of the Brechfa Enduro event in June.
About Bike Brechfa
BikeBrechfa is based in an old police station in the village of Llansawel just 2 miles from the start of the red route in Brechfa Forest. We have a total of 24 years cycling experience between us and regularly ride off and on road locally and nationally and even compete in the occasional endurance event.
Following several years of entertaining friends at home on weekend cycling trips here in the Welsh hills; we decided to start our own business and so BikeBrechfa was born.
We're situated on the edge of Brechfa forest between two village pubs which are a stones throw from the door.
We provide budget priced accommodation aimed directly at cyclists. To start you off for a day on the bike how about a round of bacon and egg rolls or a healthy alternative (porridge/cereals/toast). At the end of a hard day, come back to use the bikewash, secure bike storage, hot showers and then kick back and enjoy the comfortable lounge with an open fire, Sky TV and DVD player.
If you want to stay close to home for your evening meal you can choose to visit one of two pubs in the village. We can take you on a guided tour of brechfa forest and show you the highlights of the red route while you are staying with us.
