Dyfi Bike Park for Mortals - the new red trails are open

We talk to Dan Atherton and Gill Harris about the new trails and facilities available at Dyfi Bike Park, and then go and check out the trails ourselves.

When Dyfi Bike Park opened it quickly gained a reputation for being a place for only the best of riders. These were Dan Atherton’s trails, built on his doorstep as his playground – the kind of things he’d want to ride. Everything was graded shades of Black. That’s changed now though, with new ‘Red’ lines being added. We had the chance to go down for the day and check out these new trails.

It’s a decent drive into the mountains to get there, but not too far from other ride spots if you want to make a multi-centre trip into Wales. As you head to Dyfi Bike Park, keep your eyes peeled – at the roadside there is what might be the smallest sign ever to point out the whereabouts of the park. The set up is quite basic – we were lucky to have a warm and dry day, and conditions would feel tougher in the wet, not just out on the trail. That said, there is a big open shelter with giant wood burning stove, a small shop, and a cafe serving food that is in part made by Dan’s mum. A bike wash is being built, and for the moment it’s still portaloos in the car park – though these were very clean when we visited.
