The Tirpentwys MTB trails are unofficial wild trails and feature steep swooping berms, jumps, drop-offs, and a session area to hone your skills.

Bob More Gnarly - Black

  • Bob More Gnarly has a natural feel for a downhill run and features lots of roots and off-camber sections. This trail has drop-offs up to 5ft in height and steep natural sections.

Do-Able - Black+

  • Do-Able is a natural, very rooty, steep-tech trail with natural features and technical drops.

Dasher - Black

  • Dasher is a natural steep-tech downhill run with lots of roots, tight turns, and plenty of slop.

Gnarlyness- Black

  • Gnarlyness is gnarly and features a large drop at the start of the trail (as a qualifier). It features steep swooping berms, tight wooded sections step on/offs, and gap jumps.

Bob Gnarly -Red/Black

  • Bob Gnarly features big berms with senders into steep chutes. The trail progresses into a series of tabletops and jumps through the woods.

Grannies Fanny - Red

  • Grannies Fanny is a good introduction to the trails. The trail is all rollable and features large steep swooping berms, chutes, and jumps towards the bottom of the trail.

Other Stuff

  • The trails are maintained by a crew of dedicated trail builders determined to continue the work and legacy of fellow builder and founder Ryan Bullimore #RideforRyan
