SheRides Dalby Forest Social Ride

What to Expect: 

This is a social ride for anyone above beginner level, but it’s worth noting that Dalby is known for being more on the technical side and most of their trails are red graded, so be aware that this is not a ride suitable for absolute beginners- riders must be comfortable in tackling red trails; we will meet in the spot below, get acquainted and head out.

When warm and ready we will check out some of the trails, then we can take it from there; please remember that lots of the trails at this centre are on the more technical side and require some fitness. 

We will have a ‘lunch break’ of sorts in the middle of the day where we can grab some food from the wonderful Courtyard Cafe with an exclusive 10% discount for SheRides riders. 

It’s a super loose structure; we won’t be rushing to get done, we won’t be pushing to tick off features- the aim is to have fun and ride bikes! 

No pressure, just good times!  

Where to Meet Us: 

We will be ready and waiting just outside the Dalby Forest Cycle Hub at 09:45 ready to ride for 10 am (we’re not going to hang around too long, so try to be on time so you don’t miss the ride).  

Hayley will be there wearing a top with the SheRides logo on, so be sure to make yourself known.

What Should you Bring?: 

It’s super important to note that we will not ride with anyone who is not wearing a helmet!

Other than that, the protective gear that you bring is up to you- we normally ride with knee pads and maybe gloves, depending on the conditions. You’ll also need a bike that is trail suitable and safe, and some water to keep you going.

It is possible to hire a bike from the Cycle Hub bike shop, but we strongly recommend that you do it well in advance if that’s your plan.

What Will it Cost? 

The ride itself is totally free, we won’t be charging you anything for our company.

The Dalby Forest carpark is a paid carpark, and the prices are as follows (at the time of writing): 

Up to 4 hours: £12

Over 4 hours: £15

It’s totally up to you how long you stay for but getting the full day means we don’t have time restraints and the money goes to maintaining the trails- it’s a win, win.  

Other than that, having some money spare for a bit of lunch and a coffee is a great idea, although you don’t have to buy anything if you don’t want to- feel free to bring your own pack lunch and snacks, as well as plenty of water.
