hi guys,
I am organising a university trip to stile cop this weekend and one of our group need to rent a bike but every shop i have spoken to in the area won't allow...

Personally I think you should progress ie learn on the Monkey with a medium travel full sus then advance onto Stile Cop on the same bike and then upgrade the bike.

If your guy is a novice rider then taking him to our trails at Cop isn't really the best idea. If he's an experienced rider without a bike then that's a different thing and renting a bike to ride "on the Chase" shouldn't be an issue. As group leader I'll assume that you'll be familiarising yourself with the trails before you go and when you first get there, checking the trails out slowly first time and working up through the gradings. You can find these on the trailhead map and at chasetrails.co.uk Helmets are clearly a must and please be aware of other riders around you by not stopping on the trail and using the push up tracks and not the trail to get back to the top. Assuming everything is squared up then have a great time!
