North York Moors Mountain Biking – Moorland Trails is the fully updated second edition of the bestselling guide to some of the finest mountain biking in the North of England. Featured are over 20 of the best mountain bike rides in the North York Moors, between 10 and 76 kilometres in length, suitable for all levels of mountain bikers.

The North York Moors National Park contains some of the most beautiful moorland scenery in the UK – sea views, hidden villages and valleys, wild and bleak moors. It also contains some of the country's best mountain biking with wild and fast moorland tracks, technically demanding singletrack and intricate and exciting forest riding.

Researched, ridden and written by moors local Tony Harker, each route features clear and easy to use Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 maps; easy-to-follow directions; details of distance, timings and difficulty gradings; stunning action photography; refreshment stops and local knowledge. A Bonus Section includes information about the man-made trails at Dalby Forest and Sutton Bank, Top Tens and a detailed Appendix. Also included is a link to downloadable GPX files.

Growing up in Teesside, Tony Harker started walking on the moors at a young age in the 1970s. Tony later discovered mountain biking in the 1990s following a history of knee problems and he is still going strong, even following a full knee replacement! Tony’s passion for the moors and for riding shines through in this guide. When not riding, Tony runs Fanatic Sport and Leisure (www.fanaticsportandleisure.co.uk), the UK’s leading retailer specialising in rowing clothing and accessories.
