A Munro A Month?

Re: Re:

Munro's to me mean walking boots, a map, waterproofs, compass and thermos flask. If I'm lugging a bike up a hill I'll keep it at the Pentlands level. However I'm happy to look at the photies and read the banter as I'm sure other members are such as the Englishers

Same here.

They're called mountain bikes for a reason.

With the right choice of Munro the elevation gain needn't be any greater than say a ride up the Pentlands or Lomond. They may be big mountains but the rides often start at quite high elevation. The climb from Glentress car park to the mast is pretty big even though it's nowhere near Munro level but you've both done that many times.

I'm just looking for a bit of variety. I don't mind a bit of hike-a-bike if there's a great view and a cracking descent at the end of it. To clubby's point, I did 2800 ft of climbing at Glentress last weekend - it wasn't a particularly big day out.

Mount Keen and The Cairnwell are the 2 Munros I've done on a bike. I managed to ride all the way up Mount Keen but the last wee bit was a struggle, Lorna got off and walked because it was faster, up and down in no time. Did The Cairnwell as it was a friend's last Munro and having done it already, rode and hike-a-biked it to top via Butcharts, was a great ride down though.

Edit; "I done" FFS :facepalm:

Re:

The inventors of mountain bikes and coiners of the name built tough bikes to race downhill. The original plan was not to ride up them

Re:

Top idea Nver managed up a Munro yet (on a bike) but have been wanting to for ages. I shall watch with interest. A couple of buddies rate the Cobbler as a great descent.
