CTC has teamed up with PACE and the Forestry commission at Dalby Forest in Pickering, North Yorkshire, to provide the complete cycling experience. We are offering a new range of mountain bike skills development sessions and led rides as well as our traditional range of education courses [4] and qualifications. Our partners PACE are providing top of the range bike hire and sales as well as servicing and repairs.
Dalby is a fantastic location with great facilities and a really friendly team. It has the full array of bike trails from green to black and many routes off the beaten track to explore.
From Dixon’s Hollow mtb skills area and pump track to the rolling fields of Adderstone loops, varied woodland and pine forests give you an all round mountain biking experience. You can even test yourself on the world cross country mtb course taking in Worry Gil and Medusa’s drop.
