Cyclewise.
Yep - they have hire bikes. Might be wise to book with it being summer holidays although they seemed to have loads and loads.

Cyclewise Whinlatter

Lots of Cube hire bikes, with great service.

Mail me for other route ideas if you don't know the area.
Where you camping, because the Wheatsheaf in Lorton will be a lot quieter and the pub is family friendly with great food and ale. Good 'natural' riding nearby too.

Was there 3 weeks ago with the GF and her young teenagers.

Got free hire from Cyclewise via this

Saved £35! Look for some old papers.

The Blue is very good (for a Blue)!!
