Dalby Forest Mountain Bike Trails

Darren:

Superb

Outstanding

Harry:

We asked someone that worked there if a trial was suitable for myself and a partner to have a nice ride in the forest. Nothing to strenuous and something enjoyable. We were advised to go on the green route which we were told wecould  chat while cycling and not very challenging. It was the complete opposite. The signs were terrible and is and lots of other couples were lost. The route was extremely steep at points and mostly single track routes. It would have been good if that's what you wanted but not as we were advised. Many people complained along with us and nothing could be done. An apology but no refund. 

Bikes were very good and nice centre

Jon:

Good trail centre, with a variety of good technical single track.  Did the Red Route today, measured it at 22.3 miles, with 487 m of climbs.  Seems further as it's quite hard work.  We're reasonably fit and got round in 2 hours 30.  Considering the wet autumn and winter that we've just had, the trails are in remarkably good condition.  About a third of the climb is on firetracks, which isn't that exciting but it is a good way to get the elevation.  The red route is a lot more technical and challenging than routes of a similar grade at a lot of other trail centres, and I'm not sure how you would get on with a hardtail rather than decent full susser.  Well worth a trip out - recommended.

Trails in very good condition Great variety Fabulous views Good facilities Good value (Come on - £8 to park a car has to be OK considering the work they do and the facilities...)

Have been doing the red route once a month for the last year, and today did it twice. It is full of fun and surprises, and always brings a smile and whoop; there are lots of bits that are just really good riding, either great singletrack going slightly downhill, or really steep downhills, with good do-able technical bits and laugh out loud drops. The forest is very varied, and I cannot recommend this place too much. There are a few sections that are a slog but what do you expect in such a long trail. Having gone round once today I thought the second trip would be a drag- how wrong I was, as enjoyed some sections even more, and faster, than first time. Good facilities at start and half way round for breaks, plus good view points for self-breaks. Track is very well maintained and constantly worked upon by fab team of volunteers so it is always developing. It is a varied, hard , fun and a good half day out

Loads of variety demanding seldom crowded

Mally:

it is ok for trail-riding only has a few technical parts (infact 1) loads of uphills just feels like you do 23km of uphill then you get back to car park and think to yourself did I miss the best bits out.
