I love Penmachno

[thesquaredog]

Wasn't sure where I was going to ride when I awoke on Saturday morning but when I saw the sun was shining, thought I would go for a blast around Penmachno.

Haven't ridden it yet this year and I have to say I'd forgotten how good it is. I think it's probably the first time I've done loop 2 in 'rain and gale force wind' free weather and it was rolling pretty fast

Had a fantastic ride, there's just so much nice singletrack there!

I know there are those who prefer the Marin to Penmachno - how is this possible?!

Marins very different to Penmachno, and different riders enjoy different things. I happen to agree with you that Penmachno makes for a better ride and some of the singletrack is really good fun. But the marin has its merits aswell

Penmachno seems to dominate the war wounds section ;D

Still love it tho...

I'd love to do Penmachno in some nice weather too, only done it twice (its abit far from home) and the weather had been truely awful both times.

Ive had my biggest stack at penmachno too I was very lucky I came off right onto a soft muddy bank, exit left and it would of been a rocky trip of pain down the mountain

I do think there is a lot of pedaling at Penmachno but the bits that you don't have to pedal don't have many tight sections that other man made trails have which keep your speed in check.
You end up going faster and faster til..................................... you know what comes next !
