A long and testing trail to ride, the Syfydrin trail is a combination of the awesome flowing singletrack of the Summit trail and a back country mission into the Cambrian mountains. This route mixes the old school with the new.

Some of the more traditional cross country riding which you get a taste of on the Summit trail is extended on the Syfydrin trail and you are rewarded with some amazing scenery and plenty of "Red Kite" spotting opportunities.

The trail is very well waymarked so there's no need to break out the OS map and GPS but do ensure you take plenty of food and drink and essentials such as a puncture repair kit.

The mountains here are pretty exposed too so come prepared with adequate waterproofs and spare layers to cope with unexpected variations in the weather.
