MOUNTAIN bikers have struck up a novel partnership with the guardians of one of the region's beauty spots.
A group called Singletraction has been set up to work with rangers in Dalby Forest, near Pickering, to develop and manage off-road routes through the 8,600-acre woodland.
Forty members, from competition racers to fun bikers, have been recruited and will be involved in forging new routes through the woodland and maintaining existing trails.
The Forestry Commission and Singletraction are also developing a possible 84km "three towns trail", connecting Pickering, Scarborough and Whitby, working with the national park and local councils.
Further information is available on (01751) 432929 or by visiting the www.singletraction.org.uk website.
More details on cycle routes in Dalby are available from Andrew Orland on (01751) 460378
