Stuck in the past

If you like xc or hardtails then Dalby is great, otherwise one to avoid. The off piste is far more fun but lacks any atmosphere

Rubbish

Long loops. When they built this place they looked at what everyone else was doing and said; everyone is making best use of the hill….we won’t do that, everyone else is making long down hill sections… we won’t do that.

What do you like?

When you get to the end.

What could be improved?

Everything.

Red and black route review.

Generally the red and black routes have outgrown their ratings. As a result of maintenance the red is being turned in to a medium blue grade. The trails are very good for veginners, but nothing for advanced riders. The off piste sections are quite good and advanced, but nothing to do with the forestry commission.

What do you like?

Facilities and parking.

What could be improved?

See above.

Would you recommend?

no

Dalby

Great forest trails with some good development over last couple of years. Suits the family from greens through blue the red and World Cup standard black trails for a bit more of a work out.

What do you like?

Never been hub deep in mud. Good link ups between trails.

What could be improved?

Can be a bit pedally in places. The cafe is extortionate.

Would you recommend?

yes

Dalby forest

Love this place either with the family for the day or with the lads getting muddy and dirty on the bikes there’s loads to do and see

What do you like?

This place has everything you need from beginners and family bike rides to more extreme black runs the facilities are always clean the staff are always welcoming and noligable and chatty

What could be improved?

Went this week and disappointed that the bike shop is closing down and there’s no sign of anybody taking it over just yet , I use to enjoy going in for a chat with the lads before we set off biking

Would you recommend?

*Yes*
