Singletrack Staff Blog

Well, I’m still in Aviemore and everyone’s out riding - well apart from me. With the exception of the ace SSWC on Sunday, I’ve not ridden a bike for three weeks, what with deadlines, tradeshows and my own misplaced loyalties of writing about bikes for the magazine rather than riding them for fun for myself. The trouble is, with 400 pictures to edit and format and write about from Eurobike, and Fort William’s coverage starting tomorrow, I’m never going to get time to do anything, let alone ride bikes for fun. Should I work less and ride more? Or should my loyalty be to the readers’ desire for mountain bike news rather than my own liking for riding bikes? A tricky one - and it does sound like I’m whingeing again… (Though I’ll happily bore anyone who suggests it’s all sunshine and press trips…)

Singletrack’s deluxe Eurobike HQ for Matt and Chipps just before it rained. Now where’s that ’sunshine’ comment?

In order to try and get the word out and give myself enough time to sleep, I thought I’d try a bold new move and let Singletrack Blog readers have a look at the raw, unedited and captioned pictures from Eurobike. I’ve put them up on the Singletrackmag Flickr page - Have a look see here: Singletrack’s Flickr page You’re welcome to comment or email us for more info on a particular picture - and slowly we’ll get the story up on the main page of Singletrack. But for now, the STW Staff Blog is the only place to get the link, so you’re special, OK?
