Mynydd Y Grug 2017

 Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th April 2017

Update 10th April 2017: We regret to announce this ride has been cancelled.

This new ride will have some familiar terrain to riders who have taken part in Mynydd Machen in previous years. The venue is by courtesy of our local Riding Club, Islwyn, and is a lovely flat field which is used for Shows. It was formerly the Sportsfield for a local factory so is quite well drained unless we have some torrential downpours. The field is bordered by the Afon Sirhowy so plenty of water. It is an ideal venue for Camping and Corralling as there is a pub (the Halfway at Wyllie) in less than 5 minutes walk and others within a few minutes drive.

This is a fairly typical Welsh ride with some nice forest tracks, some bridle paths and  country lanes as well as the common land on Mynydd y Grug where there are some fabulous views over to the Brecon Beacons (unless of course its raining!).  All routes have some testing but fittening climbs!

The venue is near Pontllanfraith and Blackwood and should take about 20 minutes from Junction 28 off the M4 - which is about 20 minutes from the Severn Bridge.

We hope to see you there!

There is a Group Ride on the Saturday if you fancy making a weekend of it!

Taking in the good going of the North end of the Mynydd Machen route- cantering over moorland. All routes will have some short steep fittening climbs! Lovely views if dry!
