BikePark Wales – dreaming of summer @ Bikepark Wales
Jun 24 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
BikePark Wales - dreaming of summer @ Bikepark Wales | Abercanaid | Wales | United Kingdom
The weather has been a pretty dire this winter, so lets dream of summer and the announcement that BikePark Wales have a bunch of new trails opening this June sounds a perfect thing to look forward to.
 
We seem to have an unexpected Sunday free in June now, so what better thing to look forward to than BPW, new trails in the summer!
 
There are full day uplift tickets available at the moment (they sell quick though!) and you can also do Pay As You Go uplift if you don’t want to commit now. Details on both are at www.bikeparkwales.com
 
You will need a helmet (you cannot ride there without one) and pads are advised. A full face is advised if you have one – it’s not essential, so don’t worry if you haven’t got one, but it’s a good idea if you can.
 
We will meet at 10am in front of the cafe.
