Mountain Biking Dragons Back
#36 of 98 mountain bike trails in England
For most of its distance Dragons Back follows another popular trail called "The Beast" at the Coed Y Brenin mountain bike centre. Basically, it misses the start of "The Beast" and takes in the rest which includes most of the good singletrack.
About half the trail is forestry road; the rest is varied singletrack with rock garden action, swooping bends, fast descends and masochistic climbs.
