Philly D, the man behind the glossy and wide ranging cycling publication The Ride Journal has just emailed to tell us about the launch of the fifth issue:
“Having started with just 1000 copies of The Ride Journal we never thought we’d be announcing the launch of issue 5. But here it is and we’re really proud of how it had turned out. It may sound clichéd but we think it might be the strongest issue yet.
Continuing where the previous issues have left off we turn away from the race reports, route guides and bike reviews. Instead we’re still focusing on the riders themselves and the passion that pumps through their veins.
Covering all aspects of cycling there is everything from Scottish track racing, French BMX, Alpine freeriding, Spring Classics road races, commuting in Kampala, Japanese framebuilders, Canadian mountain biking and even a postman lamenting the sad loss of the post-bike.
As ever it’s not about the big names inside but we are very happy to have Graeme Obree, Michael Barry, Jamie Bestwick, David Millar and even djing legend Norman Jay joining us in this issue.
As well as the eclectic selection of articles we’ve also got a whole host of illustrators and photographers who once again bring a new dimension to the pieces with their killer art, including one of Singletrack readers favourite photographers Dan Barham.
As ever, all profits which aren’t used in creating the journal will be donated to a number of charities.”
If you’d like to get your hands on a copy then it’s available order online at www.theridejournal.com or at a host of bike shops and specialist outlets…
