Far Too Chirpy…
I’m not quite sure what’s come over me… Sim and I were up until 3am this morning getting the issue finished and, already I know the clock starts ticking on the next issue. But I’m really happy how this issue was looking - normally I can’t even bear to look at the thing for a couple of months… And I know that the NEXT issue is going to be a corker too - and we haven’t even started working on it yet…
    Despite the awful weather outside (it’s been lashing it down here most of the day) and knowing we’re going to lose at least a week over Christmas, I feel that we’re finally starting to gain some momentum.
    The character of the magazine is pretty established, now, in people’s minds. Folk know if it’s for them or not and we’re happy with the readers we have - they’re people we’d all happily spend a ride, or a pubby evening with, talking bikes - or not talking bikes.
    We’re no longer the scruffy ‘alternative’ magazine - we’ve come to embrace the majority of UK bike riders who are actually out there on the trails. And I loves it. Let’s get this mountain biking Zeppelin headed for the hills - we’ve got some riding to do…
