Ordnance Survey photo competition
OS has announced a photography competition for their map covers. Follow the link to submit your own photos or vote for favourite ones:
Shall we try to get a few bikes onto the covers? If you upload anything, post a link in a comment so that everyone can give their vote. The deadline for the Outdoor Leisure series has gone already, but there are still plenty cover space for the remaining Explorer series (deadline April 19) and Landranger series (31 October).

Lomond Hills photos
I cannot access flickr at work so uploading pictures here. I tried to track our Saturday route on the map and I believe it was about 40k, the ascent between a few lowest and highest points was 750 m.
Thanks for everyone who came, great rides and great company. Now you know the hidden gem. We should definitely do another weekend. We have too many good options around here.

Fife weekend
As a new Fifer I would like to organise a GMBC weekend here. There are plenty diverse options for riding: the Lomond hills, Pitmeden forest, bits of Fife coastal path, Falkland downhill freeride trails and many more.
I would suggest the 9-11th of August as the family I stay with will be still away. Then we will be able to use 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2 living rooms and a big kitchen. But it can be a later date as well. The family is really cool and enjoy having people around. Only the last weekend of August is not an option and I will be away in the middle of September.
It is an 80 min drive from Glasgow. The house at the foot of the Lomond hills, just before Leslie. There are plenty beds and mattresses but you should bring sleeping bags. The deal includes breakfast: the fruity oat porridge and eggs from our own hens. The big kitchen is ideal for the communal cooking and there is a grand piano in the living room if someone wants some entertainment. I would suggest to have a honesty box to thank the family.
Let me know who is interested and what you think about the dates. The next weekend would be ideal. Tom cannot make it then but I have little sympathy, as I am not invited to join his mob.

Arran, Sunday (12th)
I’d like to get away on Saturday or Sunday but Glencoe sounds a bit tough for me. If there are no better suggestions, I plan to go to Arran on Saturday, as their trail maps are available online, a few of them to choose from (18, 25, 35 k).
Would anyone be up for it or any other routes?

P.S. I would even fancy to go for 2 days but it’s not realistic to get accommodation for such a weekend the last moment. Camping is an option, if I get any company.
