On 1st April Singletrack will be 15 years old. Yes! I know! Don’t all send cake at once (I can only manage one whole Victoria sponge a day).

We’re planning a minor celebration around the theme of 15, and we need your input. What would you like to ask Mark and Chipps? Post your questions below, and we’ll get them to answer 15 of them in a sort of ‘Everything you wanted to know about STW but were too afraid to ask’ type web feature.

I’m not even going to suggest what kinds of things you might like to ask about – I trust the STW Hive Mind to be sufficiently creative and entertaining without priming.

Questions below please…

Thank you!
