Machynlleth Trails. Mach 2 in particular

Hello

I'm going on holiday to north wales in a couple of weeks and was thinking of having a go at the MACH 2 trail, Can anyone tell me where the start is exactley as all the websites just seem to point to the centre of Mach.

One more questions Which trial is the best, Just thought I'd do the Mach 2 as it looked interesting, what about the Cli Mach or Mach 1. MAch 3 would be a bit long!!

Thanks

I would go for the Cli Mach trial. had good time on it. the decent at the end iss pretty amazing.

the climachx is good, the climbs are easily doable but it is all over waaay too quickly, we nearly went round it twice because its short and leaves you feeling like you're only at the feed station when its actually all over.

the other three all start in the middle of town (literally) and you'll need the OS map of the area to follow the trails, they're waymarked but not like coed y brenin etc if thats what you're used to.

if you've not done any of the stuff over here i'd be tempted to go a wee bit further north and do the beast at coed y brenin, thats a brilliant trail and at 38kn is long enough to keep you entertained, if your heart is set on mach then i'd do the climachx and then the mach 2 with a brew stop in town half way round

I did The gorlech trail today!! which was good, I really need to brush up on my skills mind :oops:

I was thinking of going to Coed y Brenin as I can take the other half and the trailer bike for the little one, but maybe I will have to go again by myself to do a "proper" ride

If you need a os map for the other 3 then maybe doing it by myself isn't such a good idea. so the Climachx it is

The Cli-machx trial is just superb - agreed a little quick but make time to do it twice as its only 2 - 3 hrs all the way around, ridden it 4 times now and each time it puts a huge smile on your chops - wicked :roll:
