Looks mint.

Such a good trail centre!

Yea - looks like ts one of the old dragon courses and has opened up another side of the hill - good times! Its the furthest left black.



interesting to compare whats there above to what was originally planned below. Looks like there is space for lots more trails down that side of the hill.

New blue being added - https://www.facebook.com/BikeParkWales/ ... 167993533/

Longest trail on the hill - should be a flow fest.

I rekon it will be the left most blue from the original plans in the second pic above

Terry's Belly is the new trail on the south west side of the hill (i8)
Difficulty - Intermediate
Distance - 4.6km

Summary

Terry's Belly is the longest trail at BikePark Wales and in fact is the longest continuous blue descent in the UK! The trail starts from the same point as 50 Shades of Black but heads south along a series of open swooping turns rather than east down the steeper slopes of 50 Shades. Next Terry's Belly heads through as yet unused territory in the bike park, taking in an area of mature Scots pine trees with some excellent flowing trail and huge rock slabs before reaching a stretch of beautiful ancient oak forest. Here the trail opens up and sweeps its way via huge rollers and berms between the majestic ancient trees. A fast dash through some classic Welsh open pasture will then drop you right at the bottom of the hill buzzing from one of the best descents in Wales.

Looks really fun.

See some posts up about the new HotStepper trail, seems it is unofficially open now, some riders have already given it the thumbs up, good step off's and twisty. needs to bed in of course, but another good trail to play on in Wales.

BPW gets better each visit we do. Having done it last Monday 21st March in the sun and bone dry.. The place was flying and Terries Belly was great fun. A few more trips planned back there in the coming months.

Going with my mate in June and I cant wait.will be my second visit to bpw and loved my first time there and didn't manage to ride all the tracks back then and now they have even more so will have to pull my finger out this time and smash every run haha

BikePark Wales bids to double its size!

a lot of them look fairly short but I gues its another 10+ top to bottom runs

Exciting times, but for the trails to double in size, so will all the facilities need to be. Still only 1 toilet and no showers. Car park fills up already and the wait for the busses well...

I love the place though.
