Hi there and welcome to Gone Mountain Biking the new name for Big Bear Active. We're a bunch of bike nuts specialising in mountain biking holidays, with guided rides and skills instruction packages based from our four star B&B in Pickering, North Yorkshire.

On our doorstep we have Dalby Forest, home of the 2010 UCI cross country world cup and one of the finest trail networks in the UK with 25 miles of red route plus blue and green family routes. If that's not enough, we have the North York Moors National Park which has to be one of the most untapped areas for mountain biking in the UK.

So if you're looking for a  mountain bike holiday with that personal touch we can offer stays from 1 person to large groups, midweek or at weekends (we just cant get enough!) give us a call.

If you are happy just following the waymarked routes or struggling with maps blowing in the wind we can offer a great place to stay for you to do your own thing. We cant promise not to tempt you with stories of epic rides using our local knowledge though!

Take a look around and see what you think or pick up the phone and have a chat with us. This is not just mountain biking, this is North Yorkshire mountain biking!

Whether you're on your own looking for some one to one tuition or in a group, our holidays are all about the personal touch. 

Based at our "home from home" four star silver B&B with full biker facilities we specialise in offering mountain bike stays specifically for you or your group, whatever your level.

We dont cancel on you if there aren't enough bookings to make it viable and we dont throw you into a group with people of totally different abilities. The riding you book is the riding you want: fast, slow, easy, hard, beginner, advanced, relaxed or gnarly (dudes!).

Interested? Well take a look around. Click on the menu options at the top to take a look at our Accommodation page or find out more about our Guiding and Instruction packages. 

We look forward to speaking real soon!

We offer Bed and Breakfast accommodation in our very own home at Eleven Westgate. It's an elegant Victorian building retaining many of its original features, which have been carefully restored to provide light airy rooms whilst retaining a cosy homely feel. The deceptively large house has quality furnished rooms, all en-suite, offering every home comfort.

We've got a large lounge with comfy settees, loads of mags to read, Sky+, wireless internet and games consoles. We'll probably have to prise you out of there when you get too relaxed.

In winter there's a roaring log burner and in summer we have a large garden to relax in.

We've got all the facilities bikers need including secure bike lock-up, workstands, bike wash stand with cleaners and brushes, drying room and home made cake!

We'd like to say a big hello from Gone Mountain Biking. HELLO!

You might be wondering about the name change? Well, we're almost 5 years old and sometimes the time is just right for a change! Way back when our family set up the first Big Bear business almost 10 years ago things were a little bit different and heading in a different direction. Now it's all about the biking and holidays without some of the other complications that happened along the way!

We've got lots more planned for the new name so keep checking back for updates and don't forget to 'Like' our Facebook page too, for some up to the minute posts and pics or some latest deals and offers.

At Big Bear Active we have had a relationship with Pace since we started and we're proud to ride and recommend Pace bikes.

Watch out for a new arrival....

Oh and take a look at their weather station here. It's in Dalby and it's mint!

Over the years we've realised a few things in life from what we do and from the great people we meet...

  • You don't need a plan. Make it up as you go along - it's way more fun.
  • Being out in the cold and the rain is still better than being in an office.
  • We still don't know what we want to be when we grow up.
  • Making mistakes is part of life.
  • Riding a bike and feeling the wind in your face is an amazing feeling.
  • Experience life through the eyes of a child. It's a thrill a minute!
