Depends where you are staying. I would suggest Dalby - really enjoyed it when I did it.

Gisburn isn't in Yorkshire.

Calderdale, Yorkshire Dales, North York Moors?

The Shire is a big place, so if you narrow it down a bit.
No need for trail centres though. Plenty of excellent riding around Settle, anywhere over the Moors, Hebden bridge, Nidderdale......i could go on.

I'll mainly be in Leeds-ish, but will have a car and time on my hands, hence Gisburn being a possibility. Where are the best 'natural' places to ride that don't require masses of local knowledge?

Grab an O/S map & go to Pateley Bridge for the day.

Anti clockwise. The decent down from Malham Tarn is excellent. 30 miles, but easy to shortern.
Settles only an hour from the centre for Leeds.

Chew that looks interesting.

Proper Dales riding, and most of its signposted so you may be able to get away without a map.
Superfast and dry at the moment. Although wet dales grass and limestone make things 'interesting'

The Ogden circular from Halifax.

Proper Dales riding,
Careful - you'll open up the north verses South/double tracks across moorland verses wooded singletrack debate again.
Circuit round Pately Bridge and the reservoirs north of it is great. If you have time the NY Moors are also good - park at Sutton Bank and head north. Or head over to Rosedale.
The trail centres that there are are also very good - Stainburn if you like it rocky.
If you can find some locals to show you round there's miles and miles of good riding round Leeds itself.

Locals available during the day in the week...any students, unemployed or shift workers on here?
I might go to Stainburn one morning/afternoon as it was the first place I rode last year after a 10 year break of not riding a mountain bike. So I'd like to gauge how my skills are progressing...not much is probably the answer.

Dependent upon how long you want to be out I would say do something natural.
I wouldn't bother with Gisburn or any other trail centre. You could do a Ogden/Hebden loop which would be around 25 miles and would include some of the nicest/techyest descents in the north of England (IMO)
From Leeds you would be at the start of the ride within 35mins (ish)
