Chipps wants to show you all of his favourite trails. Well, nearly all. We all know that there are no secrets any more. Every mountain has been discovered, every field, stream and hillside catalogued, and every vaguely wiggly forest track named and KOMed.

With 23 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps is the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Over the last 30 years as a bike writer and photographer, he has seen mountain bike culture flourish, strengthen and diversify and bike technology go from rigid steel frames to fully suspended carbon fibre (and sometimes back to rigid steel as well.)
very happy to show people around my local – haldon. i enjoy doing it. i think the best way to enjoy a new area is to get a local to show you around and i’ve been very happy to enjoy the welcome of strangers when i’ve adventured abroad. it used to happen a lot on here. not sure it does so much now?
Haven’t properly mountain biked for years,but have taken a few visitors out on some local gravel rides and seeing your everyday local rides through a fresh pair of eyes is a great feeling
