Does anyone know of any trail centres in the lakes with a bike shop on the doorstep like at llandegla. Im heading up there at the weekend with some non-riding mates and thought id have a go at breaking them in.....

    There are two managed trails in the Lakes: North Face trail at Grizedale (near Windermere) and the Altura at Whinlatter (near Keswick). Certainly bike hire at Grizedale, I think there is at Whinlatter too, if not there is in Keswick. North Face trail is maybe friendlier to newbies.

    Note, there is a shop on site at Whinlatter, just not sure if it does hire. They do hire out helmet cams.

    EDIT: Just checked, you can hire Cube bikes at Whinlatter 8)

    Same with Grizedale. And if you're planning on going this weekend it's probably too late if you haven't booked.
