I always enjoy reading articles about riding in different places, after all Norway isn't an obvious mtb destination. Applied to the U.K. too.
The photography seems to be a bit disappointing these days, possibly not as 'arty' as it used to be? It always used to be so inspiring.
It's good to read articles with a different slant, ie fell runners/mtb as mentioned above. I particularly enjoyed Benji's article "Lest we Forget" from the August edition. Most interesting, more please!
I just don't get Mike Ferrentino's writing these days. I believe his first column for the mag about night riding in the U.K. was brilliant but seems to have gone downhill since then!
The reviews are always worth reading as sometimes they are not mainstream brands so useful to know what there is out there.
Polite request – can the quirkiness be bought back please?
