Elterwater Hostel has bike cleaning and store available and a few spares available for emergencies!

The C2C Mountain Bike route is a fairly serious undertaking, involving travel over the high passes and ridges, so needs to be treated with respect! But what a trip!!

Elterwater Hostel is right on the route.  It has comfy beds, home cooked meals, a secure bike store, bike wash and a few bike spares.  There are a couple of good bike shops in Ambleside for bigger problems.
