Home For Bikes
As you no doubt appreciate, when looking for a house it had to be bike-friendly.

Bike Shufflin’ Time
Benji’s bikes’ complete normality is about to end.

Happy New Year!
We’re currently in the process of working out what we’re doing throughout 2010. Route guide destinations, bike test themes, feature ideas, interview candidates, group tests, travel articles. This involves taking a step back and looking back on this year and trying to work out which features worked and which didn’t. It also involves a degree [...]

It Never Rains
Well, obviously it does.
But it never rains when I need it to.
For the next issue of Singletrack I’m sorting out a group test of jackets. Ever since I’ve had the jackets to test, my rides have seemed to coincide with dry conditions. And quite warm dry conditions. So far I’ve worked out which are the [...] -
Changes
I’ve shaved my beard off.
Not really sure why I shaved it off. It just felt the right thing to do. There was nothing wrong with the beard. I liked it. Other people seemed to like it too. It had just served its time, and it was a nice time. A great time. Possibly the best [...] -
Back To School

‘Tis Done
Issue 52 was sent off to the printers last night. Nice work Sim “Moonlight” Mainey!
It’s been a particularly difficult issue to do due to various people being unavailable to contribute -not just paid Singletrack staffers but our usual team of helpers (freelance or just plain free) has also been “otherwise engaged”.
Yet we still managed to [...] -
GREEN! My New Long Termer
Now that the Genesis Alpitude has been finished with it was time to get another Long Term project in. And after a LOT of deliberation here is what I’ve gone for…
I’m going to build it up as a All Day Mildy-Hardcore Hardtail Trail Ripper. Or in other words a bike for doing lots of fun [...] -
You Had To Be There (Or Maybe Not)
This issue is on The Plan as being the “Interview” issue. For such an apparently straightforward feature they always seem to end involving a surprising amount of work/hassle – both beforehand and afterwards! Trying to “synch” diaries with people in the bike industry seems to be a bit like herding cats. Actual face-to-face interviews are [...]

Issue 52: Update
AKA the Ben & Sim issue.. right then, words and pics are beginning to trickle in. I’ve tried to chase up some words from folks and hopefully by the end of this week we could have about 25% of the mag’s “raw materials” in for Sim to stitch together into prettiness.
Many pre-thanks to ST helpers [...]
