THE UK’s first dedicated mountain bike trail centre is celebrating a significant milestone this weekend.

Natural Resources Wales is inviting people to commemorate 25 years of mountain biking at Coed y Brenin.

A favourite for both tourists and locals alike, Coed y Brenin has over 200 kilometres of trails to go running, walking and mountain biking.

The milestone will be celebrated at this year’s ‘Trek Coed y Brenin Enduro’ with a range of events and activities for every age and ability on Saturday and Sunday, 1 and 2 October.

Grace Sanderson, visitor centre assistant, said: “Coed y Brenin is one of the most beautiful places in Wales and we are proud to provide so many exciting trails. We hope events like this will help more people get out and enjoy our fantastic natural environment.”

The events kick off on Saturday with the ‘Nippers and Rippers’ mini kid’s enduro.

Competitors can also enter the ‘Fat Tyre Revolution’ race, and the women’s ‘Breeze’ ride.

Everyone is welcome to the visitor centre on Saturday night for the Fat Tyre Revolution Party where there will be a DJ and hot food and drinks available from the café until 8pm.

There will also be films, and a Q&A with the director of Mountain Biking – the Untold British Story, Pip Piper.

The Trek Coed y Brenin Enduro event will round off the weekend on Sunday with a 30 or 55km loop featuring a mix of tracks.
