Cyclewise Whinlatter Bike Shop

Highlight • Rest Area

Great shop, Craig was a legend and stayed late when we showed up at closing time to help my friend with replacements for the contaminated rotor and pads he’d somehow been using for the previous 40km. Good thing too as coming down Whinlatter would have been hairy on just a rear brake!

He then went above and beyond by coming back from home to let us in to the shop again when my other muppet of a friend realised he’d left his phone on the counter!

Quercus Trail

Highlight • Cycleway

Great blue mountain bike route that is definitely suitable for gravel bikes! Nothing too narley. Nice and flowing single track with a good surface. Keep some speed in check on switchbacks but other than that all good!

The soup is always homemade and wholesome. Have it with a homemade cheese scone. Lush.
