Thanks for dropping in on Calderdale MTB. This website is dedicated to those who live and or ride in Calderdale. Our aim is to build a large community of riders both male and female who can contribute and enjoy the resource.

I have forgotten how many times I have been out on the bike, cycled passed the same spot and admired the scenery just as much as the last time. It dosen't matter if its freezing cold, climbing one of the steepest hills the views are tremendous and inspiring. There is nothing quite like riding an epic, getting back to the car or home and thinking how much you have achieved, and although very tired there is still that massive rush of self confidence. I ride my bike for 3 reasons, 1, I bloody love riding,  2, it keeps me fit and 3 the feeling of how lucky I am to be able to ride my bike in the first place.

A local website build for local riders by local riders. Calderdale MTB is a community of bikers in the Calderdale area. That does not mean that if you don't live in Calderdale you cant join in. I know loads of riders from all over Yorkshire that love to Ride in Calderdale simply because of the amazing trails and hills we have here.

While your here why not take a look at Cycle-fast.co.uk, Bike servicing and repairs, Cycle Fast also run a discounted shop for members selling bike accessories. Click on the cycle Fast image on the left.

Glad so many of you enjoyed the route and thanks for the acknowledgements.. It was great to see such a good turn out and thanks to everyone for making the effort.. just hope Ben wasn't recording when I was complementing him on having such a charming wife (I might not have put it quite like that admittedly)!!!  ;)
Hope to see you again soon..

Spokey Joe Double Trailer to tow your kids about. Quickly clamps on most bikes, we used it at Centre parcs and our two kids loved it. Folds down flat and the wheels detach easily and has a waterproof canopy with windows and fly mesh. It also doubles as a pushchair with some extra quick release wheels on the front. £50. Halifax
