View of Dalby Forest Edge

Highlight • Viewpoint

This is a fantastic section, with wonderful views over Langdale and towards Fylingdales.

It's also easy to ride, which, if you've tackled some grueling descents or ascents in the area, might be a welcome respite!

Remy smashed his first red at Dalby Forest - not bad for four!

Evening ride after arriving in York and buying a new XC frame & forks, building new XC bike. Drove to campsite on edge of the MTB trails, pitched up late and managed a short ride out.
Fun sections but need decent fitness due to surfaces and ride lines.
