Dalby is great for a longer ride on a trail centre red. Not as technical as other UK reds but still provides a challenge. If you start at dixons hollow there is a good opportunity to warm up on some of the other trails. The only disadvantage to this is you will need to do some climbing towards the end of the ride. Majority of people start down at the visitor centre, so this is a good alternative when busy.

Sehr schön gelegener Bike-Park.
In verschiedene Schwierigkeitsstufen eingeteilt.
Der Rote Trail ist erstklassig, über 90% Singletrail. S0-S2, nur sehr wenige kleine Passagen würde ich S3 einstufen.

Great trails and trail centre. Green, Blue, Red and Black graded options. I took the Red grade which is quite long for a trail centre Red route but thoroughly enjoyable. Lots of climbs and descents and a few rocky steps and drops along the way. Some Black grade options at points (can't recall which section numbers!). The visitor centre has the usual facilities you would expect ie: toilets, cafe (takeaway only at the moment) picnic area. Only thing I didn't like so much was, I thought the car parking was just a tad steep at £9 per day. All in all a great day out and I will definitely be returning soon.
