Mountain Biking in the Yorkshire Dales
Cicerone Press (Verlag)
978-1-85284-676-3 (ISBN)
A guidebook of 30 short, medium, long and full-day mountain bike routes across the Yorkshire Dales. The graded circular rides visit all the major dales and include loops around two of the famous Yorkshire Three Peaks - Whernside and Pen-y-ghent. Routes are graded for difficulty and this guidebook gives all the necessary background information. Choose a route by grade, percentage off-road, length or time at a glance. Old Roman roads and other ancient byways once used for lead mining and livestock droving are now perfect terrain for mountain bikes. Fast-rolling lanes can be combined with rocky drops down steep gullies and sinuous tracks meandering high over deserted moorland. Mountain bikers of all abilities will find their own challenges here and some surprises for novices and experienced riders alike.
As a Cheshire native, the rolling fells and iconic limestone landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales have always held a special place in Ian Boydon's heart. He has been mountain biking in the national park for almost 20 years and has accumulated a thorough knowledge of its bridleways. This is his second Cicerone guide.
