Trail Centre MTB @ Dalby forest (Red trail)

[@bobthebimbler]

That's probably the best red trail edit I've seen, good footage, no unnecessary commentary, excellent audio, the only negative IS YOU'RE A LOT FASTER THAN ME!! Well done...

[@TrailFinder]

bob manwaring noticed last night there is not much good footage on you tube for Dalby. That’s why I’ve come back today to do the black World Cup route. Look out for it in a few weeks time. And thanks for the kind words. It means a lot 👊

[@aaronadventure]

Great trail! and you flew down it :O

[@wrighty338]

mint channel, just about to rebuild my bike and get into things again and i see youve got a lot of trails around the north & yorkshire so well handy

[@JetnVacExteriors]

Great vid Andy. Dalby is right on my door step, some great sections but the climbs are so draining.

[@chrismitchell7280]

Just bought a mountain bike (too late) into my furlough, 25 years of motorbikes and time for something to do when race tracks are shut. Stumbled upon you, particularly the Grizedale peak one, & am inspired: I literally cannot wait till it arrives & I can head up the m6. Not usually this excited unless I’m racing: cheers bud, I think you’ve started an addiction

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks Chris. Once you get the bug for it you will love it. Enjoy the new bike 👊

[@yellomtb8457]

mate this is bloody brilliant, I haven't seen an edit this rad in so flipping long, best one yet I have to say! Well done, superb work, so proud that your channel is doing well, super happy for you, subbed!

[@TrailFinder]

Yello MTB thanks mate for the very kind works 👊 glad you enjoyed it 😁

[@geofftitford7075]

If you are in the area again check out the Bridestones they're really amazing

[@TCK71]

Great video of a brilliant trail centre!

[@TrailFinder]

Dalby never fails to put a smile on my face. Every visit I have a great time 👍

[@michaelwass7126]

Skills and speed! Great vid!

[@TrailFinder]

Michael Wass thanks Micheal. Pleased you enjoyed it

[@landroverlover1662]

I'm heading out to do this with my mountain bike buddies next week but I'm heading out on my gravel bike. I found the blue trail easy. Do you reckon I can do it on a gravel bike (with 40mm Schwalbe g one Ultrabites)

[@TrailFinder]

I think it would be good fun on a gravel bike. A few sections you would have to get off and push though.

[@saksittichompoo3583]

Great vid mate, I defo enjoy the vid. You got the best chin cam angle balance between seeing handlebar and trail ahead. Many vids turn out to be handlebar dancing videos with chin cam mount & the trails aren't well seen like yours. Keep up great work!

[@TrailFinder]

Sak Sittichompoo thanks Sak.

[@bikerblokes6427]

Really enjoyed this video, shows flowing Dalby is and how well they have put it together. I have been to Dalby with my mate, who I do this channel with, and my family and i was just wondering if you could run through the blue trail if possible as i think young families with children from 7-17 don't just have to do the red route and will have an idea of the blue route before heading there so if that's possible then i will be super greatful.

[@oliverbrunt1]

Can confirm - Dalby is awesome!

[@baznap]

i said exactly the same at the new section for the rock garden jump. hahaha

[@TrailFinder]

😂😂

[@TheRhodes76]

Great skills 🤟

[@gibfear]

It's 10 years or more since I last went to Dalby and thought it was garbage but this looks great. Looks like there have been a lot more singletrack sections added!!

[@gremlin1277]

Totally different now...Worth a trip up

[@5492sparky]

Great vid Mate. Looks a great place.

[@TrailFinder]

Mark Collingwood at 22 miles long for the red route. It’s a great place to ride to get a good bike fix

[@Lakedistrictrider]

Another nice video pal. Never been to Dalby as a bit of a trek for me but may have to make the effort.

[@TrailFinder]

Lakedistrictrider you would really like it with the kind of riding you enjoy. It’s a fantastic cross country trail.

[@Lakedistrictrider]

@@TrailFinder thanks Andy

[@thegearboxman]

rock garden at 3:50 is going to catch a lot out!

[@daz-ride]

I just did the red route at the weekend, managed to get round in 2 hour 4 minutes in my hardtail 29er. I'm off back this weekend to see if I can break through the 2 hour mark. What sort of times are people getting?

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks a good time. Think my best is around 2 hrs 15 mins

[@daz-ride]

I admitted there was no traffic though, and was a cold day, so the ground was hard. Would love to have a go on a full sus xc bike, and see how the times differ. You certainly look quicker on the down hill sections

[@Damian_Hunt]

Love Darby Forest, don’t think that I’ve ever hit the Red Route as quick as you though. Well ridden.

[@Damian_Hunt]

*Dalby

[@TrailFinder]

Thanks Damian. I’m usually flat out at dalby and use it as a training section. I go every 6 months or so to see how much I’ve improved fitness wise. It’s also great fun while doing it 😁

[@stevedowney2012]

Awesome vid jeez you're fast and fit, most bids you can hear the rider panting all the time, you're remarkably quiet

[@TrailFinder]

I ride a lot so pretty fit. I thought I was loud. Good to hear that I’m not

[@ronito.aquila]

Love it! In comparison my video looks like a walk with grandma! :D

[@TrailFinder]

ronito.travels ha ha. Thanks mate. Appreciate it 😁

[@michaelwass7126]

Also what bike you rocking? Ain't see a vid on your gear?

[@TrailFinder]

Michael Wass it’s a 2016 Scott genius 710

[@TAZMON20]

Dalby is pretty good, for me the best trail is long way down as it's quick and flowy, the rest of Dalby needs some work, especially the XC Black route,

[@niallb]

Great video!

[@TrailFinder]

Niall Boothroyd thanks mate 😁

[@morganrichardson1645]

Would you say what you’ve just done now could be done on a hardtail ?

[@TrailFinder]

SuzukiLad12 100% could be done on a hardtail 👍

[@knott4me561]

Great video pal .dalby gets a lot of stick but ive never understood why as it's great if you can hold your speed . personally love the place and every time I go I always think why don't I come more often .

[@TrailFinder]

knott 4me completely agree. It’s great if you have the fitness to keep the speed up. I’ve actually been back today to ride and film the black World Cup route. Never done it before or even seen it. I really liked it. Did 2 laps.

[@takegoodcareoftheforestdew5339]

I have to disagree. The red is a joke. It's so smooth for the majority of the loop that it could be wheel chair accessible. The only thing red about it is it's long save for a couple of very short sections. The vid is a great edit, but it really shows up the boring nature of the trail. The trail builders should be ashamed given how much better the off piste stuff is.

[@akbarhussain9216]

Looks great!

[@TrailFinder]

Aki thanks 😁

[@akbarhussain9216]

Trail-Finder I’m getting in to MTB and based in West Yorkshire.. just binge watched all your vids!! 💪🏻💪🏻Every video gets better than the last! The only trail I have hit so far is Leeds as it it close to me but your videos are persuading me to start exploring more.. i love that you look for trails where you can actually ride rather than focusing on jumps which I can’t do! 😂👍🏼🤛

[@TrailFinder]

Get your self out exploring. You will have great fun. Glad you’ve enjoyed watching. You must be sick of hearing my voice after watching all them 😂

[@thomastodd8928]

Would you say it’s manageable for someone who’s relatively new to the sport?

[@TrailFinder]

The actual trail yes. Nothing difficult on it. It was one of my 1st rides when I started in 2016. It’s just the distance that may catch a newbie out. 21 miles.

[@TrailFinder]

Give it a go. You will love it

[@Daniel-cc8ef]

Thinking about going for the first time is it easy to get around and we’ll signed ?

[@TrailFinder]

Daniel Foster its very well signed and easy to get around. It’s a brilliant loop. You will enjoy it

[@jamesd3002]

Love the video mate, has convinced me to have a trip up next week ! Is the red route well signposted so I don’t miss any sections ?

[@TrailFinder]

Yes you can’t go wrong James.

[@JamesStoup]

Wow that looks fun. But where's the mud?

[@TrailFinder]

Never any mud at Dalby James 😁

[@WhiteRoseAdventures]

Such a great ride :D

[@TrailFinder]

White Rose Adventures Certainly is mate

[@jackmackley9793]

How have you got your twin lock on the bottom of the bars? Mines on the top

[@TrailFinder]

Autistic Buiscit all SCOTT genius bikes from 2016 onwards have twinloc under the bar. The reason been because of 1x drive trains. I’d guess you have a front derailleur. That’s why yours is on top

[@jackmackley9793]

Ah I get you man, yeah mine was originally on a 3 by front, I've since converted it. Makes sense now

[@BB-gm4xs]

Are there any decent jumps, drop offs etc ??

[@TrailFinder]

No. It’s a full on cross country loop. All the best bits of the loop are in this vid.

[@alfredatkin2697]

Hi what is the trail called at 4:40. Thanks

[@markgraham9264]

which run did you do

[@bradventures8429]

Good video mate. I’ve done Sheerwood Pines red route 4 times now on my Hardtail Giant Fathom. That’s literally the only trail riding I’ve done as I’m a newby. Would you say I’d be ready to tackle Dalby red route yet or is it much harder? (I’m assuming you’ve done Sheerwood Pines haha!)

[@TrailFinder]

BradVentures it’s a little hillier than sherwood. But it’s a lot better in every way. The only thing that might catch you out if your new to biking is the mileage of the red route. It’s 21 miles. If you can manage that then you will love it

[@JohnJohnson-xm2mu]

Have you ever took notice how fast you’ve descended?

[@TrailFinder]

Never. Look away from the trail on a descent and it’s a big crash. Would love to know sometimes though 😁

[@olivercochrane9099]

Any one know how long to do the full route?

[@TrailFinder]

Takes me 2.5 hours

[@tobyredfern9027]

4:43 looks nothing on camera but is actually quite a large drop

[@tu9022]

Sounds a lot of pedal 😂

[@TrailFinder]

Tom Unwin yeah it is 😂 defo a cross country route. But it’s pretty high speed to say it’s flat ish

[@tu9022]

I’ve heard there a lot of uphill not been there myself

[@TrailFinder]

It’s 2000ft of climbing over 22 miles. With all the natural riding/climbing I do. I class 2000ft over 22 miles as a flat ride 😂 it all depends on what your used to. WhT trail centre do you usually ride at ?

[@tu9022]

the nearest one near me is sherwood pines it’s flat as and not very long either, it’s a bad area where I live there’s not many centres round us without going 60+ miles
