Yay hey – mine has just come through the door – a stirling job guys. Nice one.
Mine landed this morning. After all the Xmas/snow etc sheninigans it seems like it’s only been a couple of weeks since the last one.
Which it has, really.
“where the trails are try”- Ooops.
I’ll purchase mine from the LBS at the weekend. Long Mynd Podding sounds like something for me to do at Easter.
Nice one ScottCheqq, normal service resumed and you still manage to have a dig.
my cat came home from vet hospital today (well, i collected him) AND ST was on the mat. Mondays aren’t usually this nice 🙂
Guess it’s time to chase up issue 62 then …
Nice one, my copy arrived already, shows that delivery issues not controlled by the mag.
Now come on Chipps, spill the beans, where are your figures as promised for the Torq tests!
lactate threshold power? anerobic threshold power?
how quick did you get up that hill- 30mins is whippet quick! etc etc. I’m sure you’ll agree it will all inform the reader’s understanding of your ongoing improving fitness 😀
bigant…
Still no Issue 62? Contact me at the office and I’ll make sure you’re not without a copy… ‘subs’ being all in order of course!
Cheers
Top work STW. Got mine in Munich already!
Still no review of the 2011 Orange ST4? DId I dream that I’d read there was going to be a review in the last issue (62)?
I’ve gone ahead and bought one anyway and think it’s a fantastic bike but always nice to have that confirmed!
Came through the post last week and haven’t had chance to read it yet as I’ve been out riding!
Waiting on my spangly new subscriber’s tee though……
