Mrs M has unilaterally booked a cottage for a week in the summer somewhere near Muker (?) in the Yorkshire Dales. Looks absolutely lovely but excuse my ignorance (and this is my first foray into research) but what's the riding like round there? Any suggestions for where to aim for? Where to avoid??
Both on MTB and road bike, although only likely to take one or t'other...
TIA, as ever
Both ace get in touch with the dales biking centre [url= http://www.dalesbikecentre.co.uk/ ]Clicky[/url] for local route maps for about £1 very helpful folk
The cafe is top notch as well
but what's the riding like round there?
Amazing riding for both road and MTB, you'll need a good pair of climbing legs [or a compact] for the tarmac rides, plenty of 20%+ climbs
MTB stuff is vast and [as above] check out the Dales biking centre for routes, it's only a few miles down the road from Muker
Muker is bang in the middle of two really good loops, Gunnerside gill going North and Castle Bolton loop to the south. Or ride up to Tan Hill, have lunch and come back.
Loads of well used Bridle ways round there and once off the B6270 you see very little traffic.
Awesome, sounds good. I will take a closer look at those suggestions then and get back to you guys if I need more details!! Cheers all.
The Farmers Arms in Muker is possibly the nicest, friendliest pub I've ever been in.
Great food: Uncomplicated, well cooked and lots of it.
Oh, nearly forgot, the riding is superb too!
+1 for Popping in at at Dales bike center, The bridge at Grinton does a killer stake n ale pie too 😛
I love it up Reeth way..
and lots of it
You speak my language! 😉
Cheers chaps.

On my must visit list...
never mind the biking, you simply must try the cheese!

without doubt, it's the best cheese in the universe.
+5 Dales MTB. Stu will hire you a bike. They do a great Friday night ride from the shop at 7.
Lesanita2 are you a local? i fancy this friday ride thing.
Another recommendation for Stu at the Dales Bike Centre, having just spent the early part of this week staying there. It's ace up there, and Stu was really helpful with route choice.
Pinseat it's like riding on the moon - also Fremington Edge great climb
I'm 80 miles away in the Lakes. Check out the website or facebook page or just call to make sure its on. Or phone. It should be on.

I only live a few miles away, was chatting to Stu yesterday about the friday ride, im keen to get involved in some local bike action. I love the lakes sooo much.
My favourite MTB area, did the pinseat climb last week but I have to admit I only do fremington Edge down [the drop to Fremington itself].
There are also several routes to look at in the Vertebrate Graphics North Dales book.
