Bike shop near Alsea rentals?

[bigdog100]

I am looking for a 2 day rental near Alsea. I will be there for 5 days and want to check out some trails. Full Sus 29er hopefully.

Alsea is very small. Best bet is Corvallis or Eugene bike shops. I know that Peak Sports in Corvallis does mountain bike rentals. I don't know which of them (Paul's, Hutch's, Life Cycles) does in Eugene.

Great I got a 3 day rental from Peak Sports. Now for some trail advice I have seen this one on the boards Alsea Falls Switchback XC and OBRA State XC Champs 6/15/2013 - Mudslinger Events - Oregon Outdoor Recreation but is only a 8 mile loop. Any other trails around Alsea are?

Your closest options are Mary's peak and MacDonald Forest.

A bit farther afield, you could also head north of Corvallis to Black Rock or south of Eugene to WhyPass or east of Eugene to the MacKenzie River Trail. There are a few other trails (permit required from Starker Forests in Philomath) that are also ridden during the Mudslinger and Test of Endurance events.
