Hi, I'm going on a weekend trip to the Isle of Man staying in Douglas on the 25th till the 27th of this month. And fancy a ride out on the bike, could do with some info on where is best to hire a decent bike from and a nice route couple hours should be right! Help me out guys
Mountain bike hire available from [url= http://www.erinbikehut.im/cycle-hire-isle-of-man/ ]Erin Bike Hut[/url], nice fleet of 2015 Orbea hardtails for you to make the most of the local trails 🙂
I'm away when you're here, I think this guy hires mountain bikes out (see below)...there is a "manx mountain bike" website (MMTB) but we're all on Facebook these days, in closed groups......there's always a Saturday am ride, mixed group: noobs; experienced etc.......if you pop into: Eurocycles, or Bikestyle (2xLBS) they should give you some contact numbers....you need to speak to "the mad Manx cow" via Eurocycles (Neil works there, he's her husband)

Sorry, but If I was here I'd be able to make sure you're ok, hope this helps.
Catch the steam train to Port Erin, then do the Southern Comfort ride from [url= https://www.gov.im/lib/docs/tourism/guides/MTB_Guide_Web.pdf ]MTB route guide[/url]
Send any companions up to [url= http://www.manxnationalheritage.im/attractions/cregneash/ ]Cregneash[/url]. You'll all have a lovely day!
Thanks guys you have been really helpful I'll contact one of the bike shops in Douglas see if I can sort a hire bike out and jump on a group morning ride with them! Save getting lost haha.
Marc - if you look for "misfits (ii)" on FB you'll find the Saturday ride details - I'm away to Uni with my boy but normally there are 25+ riders and a slow/fast group - you might even be able to hitch a lift out of town!
Luckily for you I'm away in that Greece, otherwise you'd have some crap old biffer offering to show you around....
^x2 for Misfits (ii) a good crew
