This trail, belonging to the 'Adams Family' descents, is a little smoother and more flowy.

Having said this, there are some sneaky little features, which can catch you out at speed. Best to recce this one before going full gas!

A lot of good single track but way too much fire roads some are miles long I think it broke🤪

Red rated trail around the beautiful Coed y Brenin trail centre

Nice little ride out, but I forgot how much of a slog (for little Cheryl) the Dragonback Trail would be. Lots of fire road climbing with some techy rocky and tooth sections.
Weather a bit hit and miss. No heavy rain just a steady drizzle.
