I’ve heard the route guide was an exceptional rider and handsome to boot.
Not what we heard.. 😉
When can I download.
Well my Mam said he is.
Have we had that contents shot before? or just the same sort of fire damage somewhere else. Still stunning thou.
Nice to get a beard back on the cover, two issues without i was getting scared
there was a beard on last months cover, she just bleached it 😉
Download version will be up on Wednesday
We’ve not had that contents shot before – I only shot it a fortnight ago. We might have had a similar Idaho burnt trees shot though.
Yeah it’s like the pic found on page 21 ‘The Moment’ in Issue 37.
So, do I get a prize? 🙂
I think its a lovely contents shot. Can I get a prize, too?
is that Dennis the Menace on the cover? surely a “hooligan HT” is more suitable 🙂
Where was the cover shot taken? Looks very similar to some photos I have of our trip to the Sierra Nevada mountains with Ciclo Montana…
SusieG- I would agree, looks very familiar.
Hello! I took the shot in the mountains just outside of Lima, Peru. So close to the Sierra Nevadas, err, globally speaking.
Handsome route guide? Dave?
What are the 3 test bikes then? I know it says Intense, Pace and The Peter, but which models?
once again, horrific graphics on the shop cover. Just because you have to put them on there doesn’t mean they have to look that bad.
Interesting review of knee pads but given the acknowledged popularity of the Kyle Straits, it would have been nice to see their kN rating. Any chance of getting that done and at least posting it here?
