Singletrack Northern Gathering

by 8

As the best mountain bike magazine in the North*, we at Singletrack were tired of having to schlep down to London (or Friedrichshafen, or Las Vegas) in order to catch up with people who live and work just over the hill from us.

To this end, and to celebrate the start of another Grim Northern Winter™, we had a Northern Gathering for the corner of the bike trade that exists above Birmingham.

It was a mellow gathering of like-minded folks at Singletrack Towers, starting with elevenses of Singletrack coffee, with pastries from the pie shop round the corner, then out on a ride. Finally we’ll reconvened at the office for a traditional Northern pie and peas supper, washed down with some local valley beers.

*OK, so we’re the only one. That doesn’t make us any less ace…

Orange Switch 6er. Stif Squatcher. Schwalbe Magic Mary Purple Addix front. Maxxis DHR II 3C MaxxTerra rear. Coil fan. Ebikes are not evil. I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld. Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.
