Boar Taining with Massive Dai and Gringo

Boar Taining with Massive Dai and Gringo, (Matt and Graham)

So this week Me and Gringo are getting prepared for our 26 Mile MTB Ride in the Forrest of Dean (The Big Boar Chase) along with 1103 other riders, altho this is not a charity event we will be wearing our CFT T-Shirts on the day. So Started of with a ride to Tal-Y-Bont, 9 miles from my house to Tal-Y-Bont, then a blast up the Old Brinore Tram Road, which was used to transport Coal and Limestone to the Canal to be distributed around Mid Wales, The Tram Road was operational between 1815 and 1865 and since has become a great cycle route up over Trefil and Tal-Y-Bont, this track is seriously rough and isn't easy to climb, it took a little longer than we thought so as time got on it started to get quite cold and would soon be dark so we made our way back down the decent back into Tal-Y-Bont where there is conveniently a tidy pub for a pint before we made our way back along the canal to Brecon, The ride was 21.4 Mile and we climbed just 692ft but it felt like double that climb..

Here is Tal-Y-Bont Reservoir form half way up the Tram Road. 



Had to Stop for fluids..
