 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'm off to mid-Wales (Rhayader based) in a few weeks and now in the fun stage of planning the rides. I know the area pretty well but haven't been there in ages. Aside from gems such as the golf links, what are the other choice bits of trail in the area?
Also, what, if anything, is worth adding to the Doothie Valley by way of extension?
Finally, is Nant-y-Arian worth a visit, and again what can be added to it to increase the length?
Nant Yr Arian is really fun, nothing tech or hard but just nice flowing singletrack. The Mark of Zorro was a highlight for me. We only did the Summit followed by the Pendam trail but wish we'd done the Syfydrin as the others felt too short.
The final segment of ClimachX is roller coaster fun. Last time I was in the area, I spent a winter morning on my own just doing that and getting a little faster each time.
Nant y Arian is fun, but the last descent of the Climachx trail is one of the best anywhere IMO.
I dont think you can go far wrong with Nant Yr Arian, Doethie Valley and the Elan Valley
The final descent of the ClimachX may not be open ... check with the Holy Trail in Mach' first.

Pretty much what I was thinking. Any favourite sections in Elan Valley I should include?
