Flow Trail in North York Moors National Park

Highlight • Forest

Newish section. Wide groomed trail with lots of lumps, bumps and berms. All of it equally rollable and playful.

Red Route Rock Garden, Dalby Forest

Highlight • MTB Park

The rock garden here on the red route can be a tricky one! It can be done at pace with good line choice, but careful of the firebrick crossing directly after.

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Probably the only really tech climb on the whole red route. Quite sneaky with lots of line options and ways to attack. Just after a small descent so try and carry speed into it.
