I used to do alot of mountain biking when I lived in the North East but have not been out for about 5 years just got a new hardtail and want to practise before attempting to keep up with you lot on a club run! I live in Bishopthorpe where would you suggest local for me to train? Im off to Dalby Forest on Sunday but would like somewhere more local to practise any suggestions welcome!!

I'd say come along with us on Wednesday nights, pace is suited to riders and all are a good friendly bunch.

I really enjoyed Dalby on sunday but did have to get off a couple of times on red route (especially the initial bit) so think I need a bit more practise before coming out with you guys! I am going again next sunday so hopefully will be up to speed soon so I can join you on a wednesday!!

The first bit always kills me, and i'm not the only one. I have to admit I was worried about joining the club as I didn't think I'd be fit enough. More often than not I'm at the back and on steps climbs I've learned there's no shame in pushing.

. But I'm glad I did, great bunch of people.

Guys I am just enquiring about getting an annual pass for Dalby can you buy them online or just from the centre?

Passes are only available at Dalby, and somewhere in Thornton le Dale I think?!
You don't need one for our evening rides though. Entry after 4.30 is free.
