Goodness within, content to inform, entertain & amaze –
The chill winds of winter will not keep us from the trails. Merino baselayers, waterproof outers, and a good dose of optimism will get us by. That and the promise of a roaring fire and a pint of dark mild at the end. If that’s not enough to warm your cockles, you’ll be needing a pie to go with that, plus the latest issue of Singletrack to help pass the time while you digest and defrost. PLUS the free Singletrack 2017 Calendar. Here’s what to expect:
International Adventure: Switzerland – Winter in Switzerland doesn’t haven’t to mean skis and snowboards. Sim checks out the growing fat biking scene there.
Editors’ Choice – Chipps and the gang pick out their very favourite products, events and locations from the year.
Trail Hunter – Nan Bield – Tom Fenton adds one of the Lake District’s hardest challenges to your must-ride bucket list.
Bike Test: Battle of the Titans – Three bikes from the biggest names in the industry: Giant, Specialized and Trek.
Grouptest: 27.5in Trail Forks – Seven, 130-140mm forks for every price point tested.
Classic Ride: Aviemore – Pete Scullion takes us on a tour of this area of Scotland better known for its skiing than its shredding.
Grinder Bike: Stif Morf – Is this hardtail as playful as it looks?
Through the Grinder: The team bring you their verdicts on products that have survived the first frosts of winter.
Reel Around The Mountain – An under-prepared and under-funded tour of Mont Blanc yields some great riding, some wet days and a lot of mouldy kit.
And in our exclusive PremierEdition – longer than you’ll buy on the news stand, and with no cover lines to obscure the gorgeous cover shot – you’ll also get:
Interview: Tom Ritchey – Chipps talks to this man of steel (tubing) about framebuilding, fast racers and innovative product design.
Dressing for winter – How can we best recommend winter gear for you? By starting with a shivering Australian, of course…
Picture it now: you’re tucked up in bed, not quite ready to venture out into the world, when the letterbox flaps and *thunk*, this packet of adventure lands on your doormat. You scurry down in your PJs, make a brew, and then dash back under the duvet, armed with the latest copy of Singletrack. You rip open the plastic to reveal the fresh smell of printed goodness – which do you look at first? The magazine, or the free calendar? This is the toughest decision you’re going to need to make for the next wee while. Snuggle back under your duvet and read, until inspiration gets the better of you and you leap out of bed, ready to ride.
