Ride Details
The Two Lake Tour is a long route, requiring stamina more akin to road cycling than your usual trail centre route. There are a few technical sections that add a bit more interest for MTB riders. While the route starts from the village of Llanfihangel GM, you can also start this from the Llyn Brenig Visitor Centre or Alwen Reservoir if needed.

This great route takes you from the village of Llanfihangel GM on a tour through Clocaenog Forest up to the Alwen Resevoir. There you will cross the dam and continue on to the larger Llyn Brenig, via forest roads. On the route back take a moment to climb up Craig Bron Banog for breath taking views of Snowdonia and the Clwydian Range

Base Summary: Mynydd Hiraethog Mountain Biking Routes
Mynydd Hiraethog is an area of high moorland between Snowdonia and the Clwydian hills that is reasonably flat once you get up there! Adding to the interest are the reservoirs of Brenig and Alwen, as well as the forestry. For such a man made landscape, the routes are not manufactured and may invovle a bit of map work to find your way around.
