Pace Bike Park opens at Dalby Forest
The Pace Bike Park, developed by the Forestry Commission, Pace Cycles and IMBA-affiliated trailbuilding group Singletraction is now opened at Dixon's Hollow, Dalby Forest, near Pickering. Dixons Hollow is a disused quarry and over 350 tonnes of stone has been sculpted into the massive table-top jumps and 4X course with a 175-metre north shore section alongside. It represents the first stage in a £400,000 bid to make the 8,600-acre Dalby forest one of Britain's top mountain biking venues. Also open is a 10km trail linking the Bike Park with the Dalby visitor centre, which will eventually form part of a new 55-kilometre trail network. Alan Elves, Forest District Manager, said: "The bike park offers a unique experience. It's the kind of high quality, sustainable facility that bikers have wanted for years. Now they have a fantastic resource that's certain to become a massive attraction." Pace's Adrian Carter who was the chief designer of the Bike Park, added "Our goal has been to create something which is fun, sustainable and offers a real challenge to riders of varying abilities. We wanted to reinvest into the sport and encourage mountain bikers to challenge themselves and improve their skill." The rest of the new trail network is on schedule to be fully open next spring. www.singletraction.org.ukLatest news
