Welcome to the Dyfi Mountain Biking Website. There are three cross country routes starting in Machynlleth (Mach 1, 2 and 3), and new for 2005 is the cli-machx trail in the Dyfi Forest north of the town.Machynlleth is an ideal destination for a mountain biking holiday. There is plenty of accommodation, lots of pubs, cafes and other activities. The Museum of Modern Art, Wales is in the town, as are the award winning Celtica museum. The Centre for Alternative Technology is just up the road. If you would like to sample other trails, Machynlleth is ideally situated midway between Coed y Brenin and Nant yr Arian, both Forestry Commission Centres with extensive trail networks. Find out more at MB Wales. People power!The trails in this area are a good example of people power. Local mountain bikers and business people formed a community group who aim to publicise the great mountain biking in the area and boost tourist income. The group successfully fundraised to waymark the Mach 1, 2 and 3 routes on rights of way around Machynlleth, and then to build trails in the Dyfi forest, with the help of a community regeneration group, Ecodyfi. More trails are planned for 2006. The group also has a part time mountain bike ranger, Judith Thornton, who does maintenance and organises publicity.
