I am there next week for 3 days with work, have no transport to move my bike around but wonder if I have it there is there any riding nearby? Bit of a pain getting it there so will do if worthwhile as better than sitting in the bar..
Cheers

There must be loads if you head north into the hills. I understand that the future Ryder Cup course is very good if you play any golf.

golf courses almost always have little sculpted kickers dotted around - careful mind, landing in sand can be harder than it looks

Go easy on the back brake when you're riding across the green.

Pretty sure they hosted a big XC race there a few years back,that'd signify there's riding to be had.
