Gower is indeed very nice, if your in Swansea on tuesday we can show you around Kilvey Hill near the city, its got some nice techy twisty bits and a downhill run (with some jumps, big berms and bus stops).There's also Clyne Woods but that's a bit more fragmented.
Are you local?

How long you staying there for? I'll be in Rhossili tomorrow (surf willing). I'll go see what GPX files i've got (not many for round Gower but you never know) If you get into the town centre pop in the shop (The Bike Hub , near Joes Ice Cream) for a cuppa and I'll dig a map out

Does this mean we now get to ride loads of cheekiness?

tankslapper, we have a regular Thursday night ride around Clyne woods:

A couple of hours then a visit to the pub.

I'd recommend getting a Joe's ice-cream when visiting The Hub to see spev btw.

I live close to Kilvey (spev mentioned), give me a shout if you need a 'guide' either there or Gower. There are loads of trails around Swansea that only locals ever find.

I've never ridden the cliffs from Rhossili to Port Eynon - might be useful to have a NT representative along.........
