Red 5 Trail – North York Moors National Park

Highlight (Segment) • Forest

Red 5 is a great stretch for mountain bikers. A good climb through the trees as the narrow path (eventually widening up) winds its way through the forest.

Red 6 Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Probably the only really tech climb on the whole red route. Quite sneaky with lots of line options and ways to attack. Just after a small descent so try and carry speed into it.

Trails were running 100%....lower tyre pressures, weather good....chilled out....all in all a good afternoon ride..🤙🚴🤙

After two previous failed attempts of getting the full way round due to mechanical issues, today was the day everything went swimmingly and I sailed round with no issues! Not the wildest of centres by any means, but a decent ride on well maintained trails. Very quiet too, apart from one or two folk I passed on the fire road.

Some good old fashion climbs for those without E Bikes.

WOW! Thought I'd hire an EMTB. "Fast & fun" would sum it up.
