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 me, Colin Down, a mountain biker with over 10 years of experience.  I have been guiding rides since 2005 and hold 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 my Edge Cycleworks Shop Rides.  There is free monthly Sunday guided rides led by me.  These rides alternate between Intermediate level 'Social' rides and Expert level 'Big' rides.

There are also fortnightly 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 my years of mountain biking I have produced over 50 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 physically been 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 my four day North Wales Coast to Coast.

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