TERRY'S BELLY

Where: BikePark Wales, South Wales Trail length: 9.1km (4.5+4.6km) Get there: CF48 4TT WILL POOLE MBUK workshop manager

“Accessed via the same climb as Sixtapod, Terry’s Belly is the longest continuous blue descent in the UK, at 4.6km, with something to keep everyone entertained. Every feature is rollable, so it can be ridden at any speed. There’s enough going on that there’s a rest area part way down, which the majority find necessary. The faster you go, the more lines open up, so you’ll get just as tired as someone less confident. At the top there’s the option to divert down Popty Ping (a ‘blue +’ trail) to get some jump practice in, and the whole way down there’s flow aplenty.”

“The newest addition to Cwmcarn’s trail network (for now), the Pwca is a fun bonus loop if you’re riding the other delights of the valley or a great place to start if you’re relatively new to riding. There’s a short, punchy climb from the car park to get to the start of the descent, then 2.3km of jumping (if you dare), pumping and railing berms. The more you ride this trail, the better it gets. There are features all the way down, which can all be rolled, but the fun comes when you start to double or triple these to maximise speed and flow. Just stay ‘The off Godfather’ the brakes!” – blasting wallrides, blowing up slats and shMoworineginufpo:uws wyowu.nmgbpwupasle! s.com 58 Mountain Biking UK
