Big shout out to Yorkshire Dales Brewing Company and the Dales Bike Centre for their support of our events and the prizes – please support them when you can!

Thanks to all of our planners for ensuring we have different, challenging and enjoyable courses each month and the time taken to survey all of the courses and prepare the map. It’s a team effort making NYMBO happen and we couldn’t do it without all of the voluntary contributions that everyone makes. The weather can make a big difference to the success of our events – in 2026 we have had very good conditions for every event, which makes a nice change!!

We have a full programme of winter events, online entries are open for the next one in Pateley Bridge on the 31st October, and next year’s league is nearly finalised. All dates on the website. This is the first time we’ve been so prepared!!

A successful partnership with Claro for some runners at joint events has worked well and we will continue that into the winter season.

There were no league prizes for any under 40 category this year – we always need to encourage others to join but it’s becoming very apparent that we need to get some younger riders involved if the league is to have a long-term future – ideas welcome.
