Around Gouthwaite Reservoir

Start/finish: Pateley Bridge
Distance: 12 miles (21km)

This is a good introduction to Dales mountain biking. A good stone track takes you alongside Gouthwaite reservoir which is famous for its bird life. Then a bit of tarmac down the other side. A more technical section takes you through some old mine workings, before a return to good stone tracks back to Pateley.
