From Aberdeen to Anglesey

[Yan]

Hello all,

I will soon be moving, as the title suggests, from Aberdeenshire to Anglesey.  Mainly to be closer to family as my Mrs is from Trefor near Pwllheli.

I currently ride a bit up here and have been racing in the POC Scottish Enduro Series.....I say racing, more just getting around in as close to one piece as possible! Do many people here race in the Welsh Gravity Enduro Series? I'm also in training for this years Megavalanche, so if anyone has done it and has any tips I'd be ever grateful!

I will be moving down at the end of the month and would be really keen to join in on as many of the rides as possible and get to know some fellow riders.

Until then...

Hi Yan,

I've also just moved to Anglesey. I've not done the Welsh Gravity Endure Series, but could be tempted in the future - too much other stuff going on this year unfortunately. Sounds like we're possibly into similar sorts of riding, although at the moment I've just been getting out on the road bike since it's easier to fit in around other stuff.

I've only ridden the trail centres around here, but if you fancy some company exploring some new trails, or if you do any road riding then give me a shout.

Qtip,

That sounds great, although I don't have a road bike I'm afraid. It's on the long list of things to buy!

Certainly up for some mountain biking though. I should be there from the beginning of next month. It'd be good to have someone to train with ready for next season in the Enduro.

I see you've just moved from W.Yorks? I'm originally from the Hebden Bridge area.

Yeah, was living in Marsden for the last few years. Great place for mountain biking. Already missing having great trails from the doorstep, but at least Snowdonia isn't too far.

Very true. There are a lot of good trail centres not too far from Anglesey and one small fun park type thing in Anglesey itself. There is a lot of riding to be done in Snowdonia too. Of all the years I lived in Gwynedd previously I've never ridden Snowdon....which I intend on doing a few times this summer all being well! My time was taken up by surfing!!
