Hello new forum!

Monday 20th is the Summer Solstice. If anyone is interested, me and a few others are heading to Ben Lomond at midnight to hike a bike up to watch the sunrise then blast down the hill into the rising sun. If anyone is keen, come along. I will have space in the car if you want a lift.

I hear they've done some work to the lower path so it should make for a fast descent!

PS. Guess who?

Legs are gubbed, did ride to the sun, got over enthusiastic and did it far quicker than intended. Legs burst, few days off.

Just had a look at the Website. That looks like fun. I'll keep that in mind for next year. Looks like a good excuse for a lazy day in Edinburgh at the very least.

It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to make it now any way. My wee sister was meant to be baby sitting for me. She has just cancelled on me. Bummer.

I'll start another mtb thread anyway. I'm getting out quite a lot. Moved out to Kilsyth so have lots of good local riding now. Even found a spot to do a bit of trail building. I've got some pretty dramatic features lined up through old quarry sites.

Catch you for a ride soon... I might even be allowed out for a Fixed Beer soon :)

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
