Hi,

I have had my first MTB for 3 months now and I love it, I have ridden Dalby's red trail and although it nearly finished me off what a buzz. Does anyone know any loops in the Hull area with singletrack / XC etc? I need somewhere local for a couple of hours blast.

Thanks,

Manny

    Hi Manny, im in the same boat as you, live in Hull myself and have only been riding for a year. Done the red route at dalby too which was a blast and have just come back from a holiday at Cropton Forest which involved a near 20 mile route which was brill, but some routes a tad more local would be brilliant if anybody knows of any.

    I saw a thread a while ago in the MTB Rides section about some guys from Hull who were arranging rides in the area. That maybe worth checking out.

    I live near Howden and tend to go out on the Wolds Way when I can.

    Thanks for the info, Ive looked for the thread but cant find it as yet. I rode around Raywell on Sunday and had a bit of off road in Constantine woods. I need to buy an OS map of the area. Looks like Dalby is the best so far, just a bit far for a short ride.

    Alright people, am from the Hull area and I have never really rode round here off road properly. I didnt think there would be any decent rides, so I have always gone driving distances for a nice jaunt. Does anyone still go for some get togethers on here then?

    Unfortunately its the mighty tigers for me on Sunday. Next week think me and my bro will be in the dales for a nice ride round Castle Bolton. Just been on a little loop round from Kingswood through to Beverley and back again today. So how far do you normally go then 'Dirt'?

    Usually 20 - 35 miles. We usually get over towards South Cave, Brantingham, Newbald, there is some road riding to link the off road bits.

    Come along if you fancy it :)

    Hi All,

    Thanks to everyone who has answered my request, great to see I have caused some interest. I have been working weekends lately and have only had time to visit Dalby once. I will try and meet at Skidby one Sunday.

    Cheer's,

    Manny
