Red 5 Trail – North York Moors National Park

Red 5 is a great stretch for mountain bikers. A good climb through the trees as the narrow path (eventually widening up) winds its way through the forest.

Red 6 Trail

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.
