Fancy experiencing the Dark Skies of the Dales by bike? Stage One Cycles are joining forces with Exposure Lights, the most incredible bike lights ever, to offer the opportunity to explore the tracks and bridleways and witness the unspoilt dark skies reserve of Wensleydale.
This free event will enable you to use an Exposure bar and helmet light and participate in a led MTB ride. The ride will last approx 2 hours and will be 10-12 miles long. It is suitable for riders with off-road riding experience and a good fitness level. The ride will start at our bike shop and end at the cafe for a brew and a cake.
This event takes place as part of the Yorkshire Dales Dark Skies Festival 2023.
