What to Expect on Course

A fast and flowing route: Smooth and non-technical, this is a course built for rhythm. With low risk of punctures and a consistent surface throughout, you can focus on putting the power down and pacing yourself to perfection.

Technical corners early: The opening kilometres feature a series of turns—some sharp and low-speed, others sweeping and fast. Expect to be on and off the power early as you settle into the course.

Power sections: From around kilometre 6, the forest opens up into more exposed terrain. Aerodynamics will count and you'll need to hold your line and hold your watts.

A fast, tarmac finale: The final 3km is a drag race to the finish line, taking place on pristine tarmac—time to empty the tank and chase that personal best.

Scenery & Setting

As you race through the trail network of Dalby Forest, you’ll be treated to sweeping views of the surrounding landscape—dense pine woods, open moorland, and glimpses of the North Sea coastline in the distance. With views out toward the heart of the North York Moors National Park, this route delivers both natural beauty and pure riding satisfaction in equal measure.
