Nearest centre for me and I love nothing more than to pop in for a ride. Loads of different trails and ways to go round. Plenty of cut throughs if you just want a quick hour and don't want to do the full 22 mile red. I've been impressed with the improvements to the blue route. Much more singletrack added which is just fun. The vc is large and well equiped. I'd recommend it to anyone
What do you like?
Plenty of mixed ability trails and able to do bits of each trails in shorter sections.
Good facilities.
In general a great place to ride with awesome facilities and the staff are very helpful
What do you like?
My local trail dalby is a an xc trail but does have a good variety of elements to the trail a great place to ride to gain fitness because of the sheer size of the red trail (23 miles) also there are great facilities at the visitors centre especially after the revamp
What could be improved?
There are a few sections of trail that are getting a little tired on the red and maybe there could be a few more technical sections but for a network of trails the size of dalby the forestry commission do a great job maintaining also due to the sandy surfaces on parts of the trail it can be hard on drive trains in wet weather
If you live in Lincolnshire like us, Dalby is an hour n halfs drive to a real trail centre where you can enjoy a Full day out
What do you like?
Lots of trail surfacing completed in 2016 which was well in need, when dry Dalby red route has around 24 miles of stony/ sandy hardpack with many areas resurfaced with raised hoggin to cope with drainage, also a nice swoopy bermy section of green added near the end of the red to jump onto for fun before the car park.
What could be improved?
Bad points only the weather can change like most places, sandy areas turn fast trails to grinding paste eating your drivetrain.
The car park is way to expensive at £8 compared to other parts of the country but at least some of this cost has found its way to forestry commision maintaining the trails now
