I've done Dalby several times but yet to tackle the moors themselves (relatives live in York) so, does anyone have any particular recommendations of areas to ride.

I have the V-Outdoors route book, couple routes like Rosedale Abby look good.

Any good shouts? Going there in couple of weeks so doing the research now.

Alternatively I could hit the Southern area of Yorkshire Dales (Pateley Bridge-ish), its just as far and thats another area I've not done.

    Some cracking rides in that book - those around Rosedale are excellent. I'd just warn you off the "Ravenscar - Big Country" ride in anything other than the dry - the crossing of Fyligdales moor was a muddy, claggy horror when I did it last February.

    Couple of good rides in the V-Outdoors book to the South Dales - Pateley Bridge Northwest is the best. Head a bit further North and there's lots of cracking stuff in Swaledale

    You could have a look here, or try asking the question there, a bit North York Moors based and very friendly. :wink:

    Cheers, theres a couple of rides in the guide book around Boltby but they're fairly short, I could extend them but not sure of where to go.

    Do you have any GPX's of the routes you mention?

    I've been up on the Moors with altern for a fair few years, know a few decent routes. I've got a couple of GPX's and I'm sure I could map a few more out. PM your email if your interested.
