Llandegla in the wet?

Hi,

I'm thinking of possibly popping down to Llandegla in a couple of weeks, and knowing how the weather is going at the moment I'm assuming it's going to be wet/raining.

How do the tracks hold up in the rain? Are they very well drained or do they pool up like Cannock? Also, is everywhere still open in the rain (eg. do they close the pump track)?

Thanks for the help!

  • Llandegla's are fine in the rain, been based near the highest village in Wales it sure see's it's fair share of rain and it drains very well, apart from a couple of dips near the end.

    If it's rained 24 hours before you ride it just avoid the masts loop extension (not sign posted) if you go out of the centre. Unless you like riding down faterfalls that is

    it's fine in the wet in terms of grip (it's always wet at Llandegla)

    However you will come back coated in one of the stickiest muds I ve ever come across, I ve turned my silverish black bike frame entirely brown save the grips and pedals before now!!
