The operators of the recently-opened Dales Bike Centre in Swaledale would like it to be known that it’ll be hosting a bunch of Easter-themed events this weekend. The centre hasn’t been open long, but apparently it’s all going swimmingly. “Week on week we’re seeing improvement in the centre,” says owner Stu Price. “The accommodation and course bookings are really picking up, the cafe has really taken off and we’re just managing to keep up with cake demand, just.”

Over the two days there’ll be a series of on-bike Easter egg hunts, with MTB and road variants, plus one for kids. Or join a guided ride in the valley – there’ll be groups going out on all four days of the extended weekend. There’ll also be skills and maintenance workshops, and the Trek demo wagon will be on hand with Remedy, Top Fuel and Fuel EX bikes available to ride from 10-4 both days.
