Guys,
I am heading to Cairns from 10th-14th August, and have the Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th free. Sunday I fly out at 6pm so not a whole day available. Staying at Best Western Plus Cairns Central Apartments. Don't have a hire car.
I would love to do some riding up there and check out a good number of trails. I ride an Intense Slopestyle2 which is 6-6.5 inches travel as I prefer gravity fuelled riding. Sometimes I'll wimp and take the b-line but love DH and technical riding. I ride a bit of everything though and my idea to check out a good number of trails mean I am not just looking for shuttles I guess.
What are my options for bike hire and gear? Are shuttles available? Without a hire car how easy is access to trails etc? Cost within a decent reasonable amount is not an issue.
Just googled:
OR, would some locals be able to help me out? I would be VERY generous with petrol/beer supplies if I could manage some good riding. But might I be better to stick with a hire operator above?
What are my options? Any experience from someone? Please help me out.
Cheers.

Just googled:
- Cairnsmountainbiketours.com looks good. They have enduro and DH tours plus hire so could be exactly what I want.
- Dans Mountain biking, looks more like XC/trail stuff.
