Welcome to Flattyres MTB Guiding & Training

Mountain Bike Routes, Rides and Training in North Wales and the North West of England

The new home of www.flattyresmtbroutes.com

Everything on this website has been produced by Colin Down, a mountain biker with over 10 years of experience, who has been guiding rides since 2005 and holds TCL, MBL and Night Riding Mountain Bike Leader Awards.

Guided Rides

If you want to ride without the hassle of following a map try one of the Edge Cycleworks Shop Rides provided by Flattyres-MTB. There are free monthly Sunday guided rides that alternate between Intermediate level 'Social' rides and Expert level 'Big' rides.

For the more adventurous there are also fortnightly Edge Cycleworks Night Rides in the North Wales hills.

Training

Get the most out of your riding with a Flattyres MTB Skills Training Session, in North Wales.  Whatever your level, be it complete beginner or experienced rider, there is a course to improve your ability.

Or experience the sunny island of Cyprus on a Skills Training Holiday run in conjunction with Mountain Bike Cyprus.

Route Guides

During years of mountain biking Flattyres-MTB has produced over 60 MTB Route Guides, covering North Wales and the North West of England.  These routes include comprehensive text descriptions, pictures, Grid Refs and GPS files (where the routes have been physically logged).

The routes are mainly Intermediate and Expert level but a lot of them overlap so you can 'mix & match'.  If you want to try something really big there are full details of the four day Flattyres-MTB North Wales Coast to Coast.

All of these routes are hosted on the website of The Edge Cycleworks.
