The blue line mountain bike trail is a hardcore circular route running 1 mile around Trehafren Hill.
Our BMX Pump Track has a tarmac surface, suitable for bikes, scooters, skateboards and roller boots / blades.
The mountain bike trail has a number of challenging drops, jumps and berms, suitable for beginners and the novice rider.
We aim to deliver recreational, coaching and competition opportunities in partnerships with other local organisations and businesses.
During this project we have worked with local coaches, Hafren Cycling Club, West Wales trails and Welsh Cycling.
