We went to York races one year with Sir Tom doing a concert in the evening. Twat didn’t turn up because thunderstorms grounded his chopper (helicopter)
But Jose Carreras and KiriTe Kanawa were brilliant at Scarborough on the reopening night, brilliant night
Had tickets for the re-arranged Genesis concert in Newcastle on Thursday evening, but the immovable work commitment got in the way.
The tickets have gone
Aiming for a 10am start but appreciate quite a few of you have long journeys so might just roll around the car park pulling wheelies whilst waiting
If the fuel situation doesn’t get any better by Friday then we could postpone and arrange for another time in the near future ?
Oh and don’t forget your flasks & pack-ups!

BBC weather app currently has a very wet forecast for the next 10 days here in North Yorkshire, including today, but I’m looking out of my window and it’s just a bit grey with occasional light rain, so can’t really say how it’ll be on the day. If it does rain continuously, just expect a few puddles, but there isn’t any thick mud or slosh to roll through
There’s toilets at the visitors centre, then again a small block about 3 miles further up Dalby Forest Drive next to the lake, and then Dixons Hollow car park has a few portaloos. There’s plenty of trees in the forest though!
As you arrive you’ll be welcomed by a barrier blocking the entrance. Just sit and wait for what feels like a lifetime and it will eventually lift up and let you in. There’s number plate recognition so you don’t have to pay until you leave. You can either pay on your way out at the gates, or there’s a machine at the main visitors centre car park
I’ll be parked in Dixons Hollow / Adderstone Field car park in a bright orange X1. There’s actually three car parks in this area, I’ll be in the largest one and I’ll make sure I park where you can see my car from the main drive. It’s the first car park entrance on the left hand side as you drive up the main forest road and signage for Dixons Hollow bike park opposite are quite obvious (sometimes they open a gate at the bottom end of Adderstone Field which is around 200 yds before the entrance I’m talking about - ignore that one!)
If there’s anything else you need to know just ask

Thanks for the welcome, I have raced and ridden Dalby a fair bit over the last few decades. The trails have a mixed of all sorts to go at and it is Marmite to many who ride it.Welcome aboard @Stu McSender . I hope Dalby doesn’t disappoint. It’s not gnarly or difficult, just a long (21 mile) XC pedal through the forest with a handful of features and a couple of tricky sections. Some people love it for its peaceful & tranquil setting with great loamy soil, many of the younger generation hate it as it has no large jumps, gaps or fast downhill!
is that a modern version of fag packet and peg to make your bike sound like a motorbike? circa 1960. been there ,done that.Back in business...
