2025 WAS AMAZING, 2026 WILL BE AWESOME!
Hit the trails on the best bikes from Trek, Orbea, Santa Cruz and Haibike at our HubFest Demo Weekend on May 2nd and 3rd.
This is your chance to try out some of mountain biking's latest models for a great value price of just £20 each – proceeds from which will go to two fantastic local charities - Ryedale Special Families and Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue.
Experts from all four of these fantastic brands will be here all weekend to answer your questions and you can also get advice from our team, who will be on hand throughout the event.
We're also putting on guided rides led by our qualified coaches, taking you on an extened loop on Dalby Forest's blue and red routes. Details of how to join will be released soon.
Demo ride bookings are NOW OPEN. See below for details or hit the link.
