Welcome to Mountain Bike Wales...

At Mountain Bike Wales, we specialise in delivering exceptional multi-day cycling adventures through the breathtaking and varied landscapes of Wales. From the iconic Traws Eryri and the remote beauty of the Trans Cambrian Way, to the untamed trails of the Cambrian Mountains, we offer expertly guided experiences designed to showcase the very best of Welsh mountain biking.

Our trips are led by Phill and Polly, experienced and knowledgeable guides with over two decades of expertise. Both born and raised in Mid Wales, they bring an authentic, local insight to every journey. Living and working in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains, they have an intimate understanding of the terrain, culture, and history that make this region so unique.

We offer a range of guided itineraries, each including quality accommodation, locally sourced meals, and professional support throughout. In addition to our scheduled tours, we also offer fully customised trips tailored to suit your group’s preferences, abilities, and ambitions—whether you're seeking a challenging off-road expedition or a more relaxed ride through scenic countryside.

Beyond the trails, our aim is to immerse you in the rhythm of Welsh life—its landscapes, its stories, and its warm sense of place. Many of our riders speak of feeling hiraeth when they leave—a uniquely Welsh word that describes a deep longing for a place once experienced, never forgotten. It’s the pull of the mountains, the silence of the moors, the welcome of local communities, and the sense of connection that lingers long after the ride ends.

Phill Stasiw

"I've been riding and guiding for over 20 years in the UK and abroad. I love nothing more than to ride in Wales, particularly the wild, remote Cambrian Mountains. Being able to share this beautiful landscape with like minded friends is extremely rewarding for me, and for those we guide and share the outdoors with.

"I've been a fully qualified technical mountain bike guide and skills coach for nearly 20 years, specialising in off road multi day adventures. I'm also a Leader Trainer of Mountain Bike Guides in the UK and Europe through Cycling UK, and a technical adviser to businesses that operate cycling activities. Away from biking, I hold the Mountain Leader Award (summer) and SPA Award as well as an active member of Aberdyfi Mountain Rescue Team.

"From a business point of view, we have been successfully assessed by an independent technical advisor from British Cycling for the Wales Adventure Tourism Organisation (WATO) accreditation on behalf of Visit Wales. We're really pleased that we meet their high quality standards as an outdoor activity provider, and gives assurance to our guests that they are in safe hands"

"Having grown up riding ponies in the Brecon Beacons, I was happy to discover that a bike gave me the same sense of freedom and fun.

"I went on to train as a Mountain Bike Leader, first with CTC (now Cycling UK) and more recently becoming a British Cycling Level 3 Mountain Bike Guide. I love guiding both mixed and women specific groups and especially enjoy encouraging and building confidence in new riders to the sport which is why I now run my own guiding company called Mountain Yoga breaks. It’s never too late to start something new.

"For me, riding is all about getting out into nature, discovering new places or routes, pedalling away from our busy day to day lifestyles and taking time to unwind and reflect. I favour multi-day adventures in the UK, riding straight from home, carrying what I need, taking friends with me to share the experience and more importantly to just enjoy the ride."

This is Suki (daughter of Bunbury) and newest addition to our family. She's an amazing trail dog and full of energy. When she's not out with Phill &Polly, she loves chasing birds and having her floppy ears and tummy stroked.

She’s great at running with the bike, either sprinting away down the trail, or heeling to the back wheel when she needs a rest., Hopefully she'll be out playing on the trails when you visit.

She also likes lots of loves, so feel free for a cuddle, and keep your snacks and sandwiches tucked away!! ;-)

Dan needs no introduction when it come to mountain bike leadership and riding bikes. Dan rode Elite XC for Orange Bikes back when bars were the length of your school ruler and wheels came in one size.

From a mountain bike leadership perspective, Dan has been training guides in the UK and Europe for over 20 years. Firstly through his Offroad Training Consultancy (OTC) with the trail/tech leader awards, designing the off road leadership pathway for Cycling UK, and finally to today, Leadership and Off-Road Technical Lead for British Cycling. There aren't many guides in the UK who won't have benefited from Dan's leadership on a course, or indirectly from a trainer like Phill.

Dan is a very valued member of our team and close family friend, we are over the moon that he is involved with MTB Wales. At home, aside from riding of course, Dan loves walking his pooch Nellie, wife Julie and the girls.
