Having seen what Big Bear Active have to offer, their operation is extremely professional with facilities like some of the bigger Alpine set ups. This is amazing for North Yorkshire mountain biking and is exactly the type of outfit that Pace like to do business with.

What can I say. It was a wonderful weekend.The biking was great. If we had seen the descents BEFORE we started out, we would never have done them!!!Russell loved it all, and even he was tired last night.  We will be back!!

To transform from nervous novice to red route slayer in one easy step, call Big Bear Active! The pace of instruction, and structured approach works wonders, and as the improvements come thick and fast, confidence rises. Before I knew it, we were flying along! There’s no doubt I’ll be back! Thanks again for such a great day.

Stayed with Mike and Amanda at the beautiful Eleven Westgate as part of a mountain biking package with Big Bear Active. The b&b itself was an absolute treat - conveniently located, sumptuously comfy, tasty breakfasts and very affable hosts. It is also superbly kitted out for bikers with secure storage, bike wash, energy bars, camelbak fill-ups, boot warming room... even home-baked afternoon cakes to quell a raging appetite!

I'd definately recommend any mountain bikers not to miss out on the opportunity of the guided rides with Mike (no matter how good or not-so-good you think you are!). He knows some awesome routes on the North York Moors (way better than the MBR versions!) and knows Dalby forest like the back of his hand. Lets just say we finished our rides grinning from ear-to-ear!

Overall, an awesome couple of days - will visit again for sure!

Thanks for a great biking weekend with the four of us. After plenty of rest and a visit to the physio I recovered ok!
Seriously though I really enjoyed the rides and you put together a great route on Saturday - all 60k of it! Dalby on Sunday was great fun too.
Will definitely return.

We had a fantastic day's riding and still didn't get to do the whole of Dalby! We'll be back for some instruction next time!

Amazing set up for bikers from the great breakfast to the well kitted out workshop to the awesome North York Moors rides - and you get to do it for a living you swine! Will definitely be back but for longer this time.

Dalby was awesome and knackering. The few (!) beers in Pickering after and then coming back to a roaring log fire was the perfect end to the day.
