Hi All,
Got a few days in Skipton at the southern tip of the Dales and im planning on take the bike. I have seen some of the stuff around Gisburn Forest which looks like its nearly open, but is there anything else worth looking at?
I found this site http://www.mtbthedales.org.uk/mtb-home/mtb-findaroute.htm anyone tried any of the routes, most seem pretty tame?
Any pointers would be great.
Joe
PS - for reference Cannock's Red route is what i'd class as normal for me. I like tight forest techncial bits and sweeping berms, nothing to vertical! 🙂
Barden Moor is a grand day out, you can tag Hebden Gill onto and fit in a visit to the New Inn at Appletreewick.
Nidderdale route is also good but I remember the climb up to Middlesmoor being quite tough
go for a quick loop of flasby fell one evening? skipton-flasby fell-flasby-gargrave-skipton takes like 2-3hours depending on how fast you ride? 😛
Ride from kettlewell up cam head, down to star bottom, road to buckden, over Firth Fell into Litton - Great Pub there. Then down to Arncliffe and over the moor baclk to Kettlewell
Beats the **** out of Gisburn!
