Pictured on the bridge at Cwmcarn Downhill course, or several feet above it, is Chris John (MrChrisJ). The picture was taken by Matt Palmer (MattP94) but apparently he was using Matt Cope’s (Hairy_Hippy) camera.

If you have a MTB related picture that you think would look good on the front page then email it to Andrew at MTB-Wales.com. Please include details of riders, MTB-Wales login name and the location of the picture. An archive of front page pictures can be found here.

Looking for somewhere to ride? Then why not use MTB-Wales.com for some route inspiration.

: Children In Need
Click here for similar news stories
A group of us riders are currently in the process of sorting out some sponsored events to raise money for the forthcoming Children in need show.

We are very much in the planning stage at the moment but are aiming to have a main event on Friday 20th November which is the night of the Children in Need show. We are planning on a fun 12 or 24hr endurance event possibly in the form of a stair ride, based in Cardiff either around the assembly or bay area.

If your not involved in the endurance event it would be great to have riders around and about in the infamous riding gear drumming up support and raising extra money.

More information will be supplied as we organise this further. It would be great to get a good number of riders involved in this and raise money for a good cause.

For now if you could show your support by joining the facebook group, you can also keep up to date with the updates as they come.
