Crossing the
stunning moorlands of North Yorkshire and through beautiful
forests to the dramatic heritage coastline, the Moor to Sea
cycle route links the towns of Scarborough, Pickering and
Whitby in a long distance cycle route. Featuring over
80 miles of forest tracks, lanes, and the former coastal
railway, the route can be ridden in stages ranging from
easy to more challenging and offers cycle hire on route. |

Pace cycles have
teamed up with the forest enterprise to develop a number of
way-marked trails in Dalby forest. There are currently 4
routes with another 2 or 3 in the pipeline. Each route
is graded and can be navigated by using Pace's colour -
coded route arrows. The black route is the hardest
and the most technically demanding trail on offer. Even
through it's only 6 miles long. The 15 mile red route
is for intermediates, with a good mix of single-track and
forest roads, and a tea and cake shop halfway round too.
There is also a blue route, a beginners trail, and a
green route designed for families. |

Have a bicycle, it helps!.
Always wear a cycle helmet.
Ride with a smile, not a bashed in face ..!
Expect the unexpected because it'll never happen ...!
properly ....?
Give way to walkers/ horses & be friendly towards other
forest users, especially sheep.
Never ride whilst under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
porno's ... Boring..!
Always have enough money with you. 'Duh', to buy
Bicyclemania trailfinders a pint.
Footpaths are for walkers only, ..... "
you know what we mean "
Ride flat-out & attack every hill, it could be your last
ride, ever .. ever ... ever!.
Please do not drop litter or fag butts, stuff'em down your
shorts.
DANGER ! Keep away from all forest operations like, S.A.S.
special training op's.
...'Only teasing' .... |
