There are 14 Hours in a Sunday
Well there are working here… That’s another weekend of my life I won’t get back. It’s a pity that this job seems to be all feast and famine. Three weeks ago I was in Japan, which was great. I then return and don’t venture further than the office and home, and only going home to sleep at that. It’s all very well saying ‘This year, I’ll ride more and be at work less’ but it’s only at 10.30pm on a Sunday night that I can leave, knowing that the 5% of the magazine we have to do tomorrow is doable in the limited time we’ll have. It does seem that I only appear on here to whinge - but I’d much rather be boasting of great rides I’ve done to be honest. My last ride, of any persuasion is already a fading memory…
Expect me to arrange to be out riding a lot next issue. And then expect me back again this time next issue complaining that I haven’t had time… Don’t get a job editing a mountain bike magazine if you want to ride bikes, y’hear kids?

Hey
I’m hearing you! I work as a graphic designer (self employed) and its similar- like you say feast or famine.
I’m originally from the UK and after living in Australia for 7 years now call Christchurch in NZ my home (hard life huh :))
Maybe some photos will keep you going to finish this issue

All the best - Paul!

Chipps, we had to rub our eyes when we saw someone who liked quite like you cycling to work before 8am yesterday.
8am! It had to be someone else.

Yep, that was me… Rubbish isn’t it? Glad you had fun in the Lakes. At least I can say I know people who ride mountain bikes..
