| Beautiful, Scenic ride on the old Scarborough to Whitby railway line which forms part of the Moor to Sea Cycle network on the North Yorkshire Moors. My Girlfriend and I under took this ride as part of her training for a charity ride accross india and found it challenging but enjoyable. We rode from Whitby to Scarborough and back and it took us around 5 hours.
Although I dont think that it would be a particularly difficult ride for the more experianced people amongst us it was still relitively difficult for novices like me and my girlfriend as thehills arent particularly steep, they are particulalry long streaching up to in my estimation 2/3/4milesat a time and are real mind over matter jobs.
Anyway I hope people find this informative and try this route out for them selves.

85.9km |
|
| Start/Finish: Low Dalby SE855878,
YO18 7LT
Total distance: 86.7km (53.9 miles)
Time: 5-10 hours
Map: Ordnance Survey OL27 North York
Moors (Eastern area)
Summary: Starts and ends on red/black manmade trails, but the middle covers mostly open moorland singletrack.
Start from the main car park and follow the red/black routes up to the viewpoint at Crosscliff Wood for the first 14km.
Continue past the viewpoint and then
drop diagonally left off the scarp on the yellow marked singletrack.
Turn left down the steep road descent,
over the footbridge and onto the natural singletrack, turning left onto the forest road and then right up Dalby Snout fire road.
Carry on across the first crossroads and then right at the second summit junction.
Go left at the next fire road junction, passing through Red Gate and onto the moor.
Follow the track north up past Lilla Cross to the track junction. Head down the singletrack descent of Robin Hood’s Road, bearing right and uphill to join the A171.
Turn right uphill then left onto the
bridleway after 500m. Turn left again,
following the edge of the wood, then cross the field into Oak Wood and head up the other side. Climb up the farm track then descend to
the road. Turn left on the road down through Fylingthorpe to Robin Hood’s Bay.
Climb back up to the left turn onto the
cycle track. Follow it to Ravenscar. Turn right through the village then right again.
Follow the road onto the singletrack
contouring round then climbing up to the road and left up to the transmitter mast. Turn right opposite the mast and then left again down the wallside singletrack into the forest,
following the trail to the Falcon Inn. Go straight across the road into the forest dropping out of the trees into Harwood Dale.
Either curve round the road loop or go across the fields on the bridleway and up the bank to Broxa. Turn right at the top of the road climb following the fire road onto the open bridleway down Whisper Dale. Left down the road to Hackness, right then right
again back to Dalby Forest Drive.
Climb the road past the toll booth then
rejoin the red route where it crosses
Dalby Forest Drive. Follow to the finish. |

WMB 108 Dalby, Yorkshire_Intermediate (Red) Route |

Jul 14th 2010, 02:38 |
|
33.6km |
|
| Start/Finish: Main car park,
Low Dalby
Total distance: 37km (23.5 miles)
Total ascent: 741m (2431ft)
Time: 2-4 hours
Summary: A mixture of mostly
manmade trail and some short fi re road climb sections, the Red routes hold up well most of the year round, although you’ll be coated in white spray if it is wet.
There are no massive climbs or
descents but contouring trail keeps work and concentration rates high, and the optional black sections add spice.
Park at the first car park in Low
Dalby between the two buildings
of the visitor centre. Cross the Forest
Drive past the speed bumps after the
corner and up the zig-zags in the field.
Follow red markers north to the
zig-zagging across the dales
eventually ending up at the ‘skills’ area at Dixon’s Hollow. Feel free to dive off for a play here if you fancy, but don’t go too daft as the only way out for the wounded is by air ambulance...
Cross the Forest Drive and head
north past Worry Gill. Again
there’s lots of opportunity to spice things up with black and World
Cup course detours. Either way
you should end up at the bottom
of a climb at the east end of
Staindale Lake.
Climb north away from the
fi re road then follow the
red/black signs on singletrack and
fi re road out to Crosscliffe
viewpoint. At this point, you can
take the North Shore ramp onto
the black route and rejoin the red
route later on. Otherwise
continue east along the fire road
until the red route turns back into
the forest on singletrack.
Most of the high skill stuff is
done by the time you cross
the Forest Drive. But if you’ve had
enough now is a good time to take
the tarmac shortcut back to the
visitor centre. |
