If you have ever fancied racing but are not sure what to expect, we are planning to do some race experience days, where we will aim to guide you through the process of a race weekend, from signing on, to track walk, to the beeps at the start of a run but without the pressure of actually being timed .

These will be at an extra cost to cover the venue and equipment

Similar to Skills rides these will be for those who are looking to ride trails that are the next step for them, giving tips and advice to help with progression.

 The prices for club activities based at Glyncorrwg Mountain Bike centre include a Coffee/Tea and parking charge
