Howgills: Handy cafes, bike shops and Mountain Rescue, not pictured

Classic Ride: The Dark Peak.
The riding around Hope Cross in the Dark Peak is definitely on the ‘must do’ lists for every UK mountain biker. It’s a Classic Ride for a reason. Not ridden it for a while? NEVER ridden it? Then you need to get yourself to the Peaks…

Rocks, trees, trails – and ice cream at the bottom. The Peaks has it all.

No prizes for being able to recognise this view. It’s a classic!

Bike Test: Proper mountain, mountain bikes
Barney looks at three 160mm bikes from Focus, Scott and Specialized designed to get you up the big hills and back down again with fun and style.

And, as they say, much much more: Product reviews, columns, tests and random burblings for all!

And for all of you lovely subscribers…

Every subscriber issue comes with a whole 16 pages of extra content. Here’s a taster:

Racehead: Scotland the awesome.
TweedLove and the Fort William World Cup are proof of Scotland’s superiority over all – at least for a month every summer.

Last Word: A question of perception.
Tom Hutton and Matt Letch go head to head in discussing how mountain biking needs to be presented to the wider world if we’re to increase (or even defend) our trail access.

Pre-order here for Issue 107 and be sure to check out the Singletrack shop where you can buy a number of replacement copies or even subscribe from as little as £15 a year!

    Surely the “pre” in “pre-order” is redundant? Don’t you just want us all to “order” a copy? (I hate myself just a little bit for having to mention this)
