Yes, it is a very good area for mountain biking. In fact, there are so many local bridleways that I haven't actually ridden all of them yet and from time to time I still discover new ones. There are some that are in a pretty poor condition and are virtually unrideable, but there are some cracking bridleways within a very short distance of Hebden Bridge town centre. When you do decide to buy a MTB, I'd recommend that you go for a 'hardtail'. You won't be wanting to do hardcore descending so why go to the extra expense of buying full suspension? A full-sus bike weighs more, costs more and there is more to go wrong with it. Whatever MTB you choose, I hope you get it more quickly than the road bike! :wink: More MTB reports to follow...
