borrow/rent a bike later this week?

Hi! I'm from Milwaukee and now live in New Hampshire. My husband and I are going back to MKE for Thanksgiving and would really like to check out some local mountain biking spots. Is anyone willing to lend or rent at least one bike? Brian's 5'10" and I'm 5'8". We'd also like some recommendations for places to ride - I've checked out some online, but personal recs are always more useful. Thanks!

Southern Kettle morraine state forest is located an hour south of Milwaukee. There are extensive trails for a wide variety of riding abilities. A short distance from the trails is a bike shop where you can rent bikes. Backyard Bikes is on the corner of Hwy 12 & hwy H. To use the trails you need to get a state park sticker and trail pass. Daily passes can be purchased at the trails. Before heading out call the trail hotline 262-594-6202 to make sure they are open. Its gun deer season as well so its a good idea to wear bright clothing....
