About 300 riders set off from the snow-capped summit of Aonach Mor
About 300 daring mountain bikers have completed an Easter weekend descent of a snow-capped Scottish mountain. The Macavalanche event on Saturday saw them simultaneously hurtle down Aonach Mor in the Nevis range near Fort William.
Before the fun could start there was hard job of getting to the start line
There were easier ways to ascend, but let's hope that bike was well secured
Some provided their own musical entertainment as they made their way to the top
The riders assembled by the start line near the top of the mountain
The mountain reaches 1,221m and the descent began in deep snow
Described as a "race for the fearless", the riders were probably too busy concentrating to take in much of the scenery
