Downhill Centre is due to open late May 2012 providing lifts to the top of the mountain
with a choice of two black trails and two red trails to the bottom. Also on
offer will be a jump-site and pump-track. Not for the faint-hearted, this biking
facility is aimed at the down-hillers and free riders.

For a more
genteel ride you can enjoy the Tanygrisiau Lake Trail, a blue graded cross
country mountain bike trail round (almost) the lake with 8km and 5km options. Planned
opening is July 2012.
Even more
genteel and unique to Britain is the velorail due to open September 2012.
Basically a pedalo on wheels running along the disused railway track between
Blaenau and Llan Ffestiniog and ultimately to Trawsfynydd. Two people cycle at
the front whilst their passengers urge them on from the back.

And of
course there are all the new trails just down the road at Coed y Brenin.
Pedalling paradise!
