Dixon's Hollow Skills Course

Dixon's Hollow Skills Course

For the more technically skilled cyclist, this is a great adventure!

Week 5 - On Wheels

Dixon's HollowLevel of Fitness
Good standard of fitness required and a very high level of technical skills needed.

The Experience
Ride the freestyle loop, jump the table tops and test your nerve on the skinnies....

Mountain bikers are given the chance to polish their technique and defy gravity with the Dixon's Hollow Pace Bike Park.

Want to improve or test out your freeride and jump skills? Then head to Dixon's Hollow Pace Bike Park. It's taken 350 tons of stone and building material to turn an old quarry into a top-notch bike skills area. Complete with hair-raising jumps, corkscrews and ramps. Dixon's Hollow is a partnership between the Forestry Commission, Pace Cycles and SingletrAction - Yorkshire's trail building club. Dixon's Hollow is a great start point to explore the cycle trails at the eastern end of Dalby Forest.
