Yes, issue 99 has only just arrived but we are well under way in planning for our extra special, 100th issue.
Not only do we have a special edition list of features including contributions from 100 of the industry’s biggest names, but we are really going to new lengths with the cover too.
We’ve developed a long standing reputation for breaking the rules when it comes to covers and for issue 100 we are doing something very special. Instead of a gorgeous image shot by one of the industry’s finest ‘togs’ we have commissioned Jo Burt, of MBUK’s Mint Sauce fame, to paint us a full wraparound cover.
We’ve asked Jo to keep us updated on progress as he goes and he’s told us that as a work of art it is subject to changes and alterations. He’s also asked us for ideas and inspiration for what to include, so as well as the list of things we’ve sent him we thought some of you out there may have some ideas of your own. So, let us know what you think should be included on this very special issue. Post in the comments below or on this forum thread.
Latest Singletrack Merch
Buying and wearing our sustainable merch is another great way to support Singletrack
A UK subscription to our print and digital Premier package costs just £35 for 8 issues plus full digital mag access via tablet, mobile & desktop – plus a whole host of other extra benefits.
Singletrack was born in the middle of the infamous Foot and Mouth outbreak of 2001, which shut the entire countryside and pretty much put mountain biking in the UK to sleep for months – so not the best of mag launch timings. Since then we’ve grown and adapted into the magazine and website we are today, with a reach of over 2 million users every month across the mag, website and social media. Issue 100 will be a celebration of 15 years of publishing and will go on sale in September. Subscriber copies will be fatter and packed with even more content so if you want to make sure you don’t miss out then subscribe now and help us celebrate.
For more information on subscriptions see our subscribe page here.

I honestly don’t mind what’s included in the artwork but I would like to purchase a print of the finished piece to hang in the man cave 😉
Lenticular printing and turn it into an ‘animated GIF’ :o)

An aeroplane landing on a conveyor belt needs to be somewhere on the cover.
