Fort William 2017: Video Log Day One

We’ve sent five of our very best up the M6 to Fort William this week for our favourite event of the year, the Fort Bill World Cup.

As usual, we’ll be pumping out as many stories, pictures and videos as we can and we kick it all off with the first Video Log from the guys who have just arrived at their palatial accommodations in direct line of sight of Ben Nevis itself.

Check this out. Their first log has dropped.. or something.

Today the gang of five will be setting up the Singletrack stand in the event village where James will be tempting passersby with DVDs and magazines. Then it will be to the pits and the other trade stands, so tune in later to see what they find.

We have a dedicated Twitter account that we dust off and bring back to life once a year for our World Cup coverage. It’s often vague but pretty much consistently sarcastic. In particular we will be commentating the finals over the weekend so if you aren’t near a video stream or maybe you are but you like to have our special breed of commentary running at the same time, then follow our @stwfortbill account for ‘extra’.

Mark Alker

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
