Where will you go on a guided MTB ride in Wales

Do you love natural trails, with breath-taking views, and away from the crowds? The feeling of just being on a bike exploring a new place, pedalling away. We get you, we love that feeling too.

Or maybe you prefer a bit more adrenaline and find yourself craving for drops, jumps, switchbacks, and berms. We got you covered here too.

Our guides know the way to mix sections of graded official trails with off piste so you can have a superb time.

Thoroughly enjoyed myself on Saturday - fabulous natural trail mix, tailored to our abilities and the beautiful weather on The Gower was a bonus 😊 it was like riding with mates - looking forward to the ‘next time’ already. Highly recommended 5*

We can help you stop wasting time googling top trails to ride in wales; checking Facebook groups, YouTube videos and google maps trying to guess what 'might' be the best route or epic loop.

We can save you hours on the smartphone or laptop scrolling down never-ending websites for accommodation looking for where 'might' be good to eat and drink in Portugal.

Let us take all the hassle out of organising your epic day, weekend away, or active holiday break and guide you on an amazing journey to South West Wales or Portugal.

The Gower Peninsula

The most scenic coastal trail in the country

Famous for its wonderful white sandy beaches and a clear blue sea, the Gower Peninsula is the perfect place for beginners to start mountain biking in natural trails in Wales. Gower has a great network of bridleways, offering a variety of dirt roads and single tracks ideal for gravel and cross-country bikes. Some of the steep rocky descents won’t disappoint riders on full suspensions.

GMTBIKING offers you guided mountain bike rides and holiday breaks in the Gower for your ability, fitness and experience level. If you fancy a long weekend or multi day mountain bike expedition, we can organise this for you.

Swansea Bay

Unexpected trails with surprising sea views

Swansea or Abertawe in Welsh, lies within the historic county boundaries of Glamorgan and the ancient Welsh commote of Gŵyr. If this sounds like lord of the rings language, it is because some of Tolkien’s invented languages are Welsh based. The landscape is also very Tolkien. The local trails around Swansea, including Clyne Woods can be challenging. so bring your full suspension If you are into enduro. But if you want a more relaxed tour on a gravel bike, we can take you to the best view points in town.

Bring your preferred bike, we will take you on a route according to your ability, fitness & experience level.

Swansea Bay Bespoke

The Neath Valley and Afan Forest

Waterfall

Country

The Neath Valley offers a dramatic landscape punctuated by waterfalls, lush forests embedded in its mining heritage. The valley has a well paved cycle network, and some of the most adrenalin charged mountain bike scene in the world – The Afan Forest Park. But the Park has a variety of natural trails beyond the famous Afan forest bike centre. You can explore roman roads, dirt tracks, and cycle along old mines.

GMTBIKING will guide you on an unforgettable mountain bike day to the Afan valley. If you like a bit of everything we can mix and match with the Afan Forest Bike Park. If you fancy a long weekend or multi day mountain bike expedition, we can organise this for you too.

Neath Valley

Black Mountain

The land of old red stone

Such an iconic name, but often confused with the Black Mountains. The Black Mountain forms the western high ground of the Brecon Beacons National Park. This mountain feels more remote and is way less busy than its eastern sister - the Black Mountains. Riding in this western side of Brecon is superb from flowing singletrack to technical rocky descents leading to breath-taking valleys.

If you like being in the outdoors, exploring natural trails and just have that urgent feeling to ride, we got you covered. GMTBIKING can take you to unique natural trails in the Black Mountain.

Black Mountain

Brecon Beacons

We can take all the hassle out of organising your mountain bike day. GMTBIKING will guide you on an epic day tour to the Brecon Beacons.
