Tips from the Community

May 5, 2026, Medusa's Drop

Good switchbacks. Quite steep downhill sections, the surface has many exposed rocks, sunken ride lines. Be alert, some of this is black graded riding. Theres less traction and grip on days like today due to rainfall. Its fun to ride on though.

This can be very muddy at times, plus the gate at the end of the track is very narrow.

Nice & easy gravel (cinder) track running from Whitby to Scarborough. Well signposted so no hassle, just follow the plentiful signage. Great views from both directions around Robin Hood’s Bay

Avoid overcrowded Dalby Forest and try Broxa Forest instead, or a little further west, Langdale Forest just across the River Derwent.
