Met more e mtb riders than conventional mtb bikers this morning in the Pentlands!

The start of the descent from the summit of Castlelaw, look at that sky!

And a similar sky on the cycle from Allermuir over to Maidens Cleugh!

Some water running down the track near the bottom of Maidens Cleugh but thats all there was to see, its amazing how much things have dried up this last week!

Not a mountain bike in sight but too good to miss!

Thought I'd better behave today and do as I was told so when the Mrs suggested a visit to Linlithgow and a walk round the loch followed by a fish supper I didn't take too much convincing!

The swans were very tame especially if you fed them and the background of the loch and Linlithgow Palace made for some colourful photos!

A sunny morning but just above freezing

Following Barrie the last few yards to the summit of Castlelaw, and boyo it was chilly!

Posing with Barrie before we descende!

The descent from Allermuir, dry and slidy, strangely!

Castlelaw and Allermuir summits on a bright sunny day (for.a change!)

First of all the top of Castlelaw, and what a view it was today!

The climb up Allermuir, always a hard one!

Photos from Sunday morning’s ride with Baz

A windy ride in the Pentland Hills this morning!

A view looking down over Edinburgh from my trip this morning

Some bits of the track aren't quite as scenic!

You meet all sorts when you're out on a bike!

Short ride to deliver a message with diversion via the pond

Two swans quite oblivious to me pedalling past on the ebike!

Small, short two board bridge!

A quick visit to view the local graffiti artists work under the bridge

Hard frost but glorious sun!

Top of Castlelaw Hill and Baz and me met two hill walkers to be photographed with!

Top of Allermuir next and a tricky descent on the frozen ground, but we made it down in one piece

Next stop Capelaw and we didn't hang around it was too cold!

A moment of near disaster, but just managed to stay on the bike!

A quickie yesterday and boy it was COLD!

Trying to look relaxed in a freezing cold wind!

Some of the track called "Phantoms Cleugh" had a few tricky little sections!
