Join Us Now! A new and improved Singletrack Magazine is coming…

Well now , although I’ve been with you lot since day 1 the next issue looks to be my personal favourite EVER , ! already 😎It’s like it was written from my memories 👍Chilcotins float plane feature , can’t wait ! I’ve been lucky / greedy enough to have done it twice ! Is Dale still running Tyax Air ? How did you get up there did you go over the Hurley pass ? That’s an adventure in itself 😬 Next Marin county and the museum as well , again ridden Repack, and all the iconic trails in the tyre tracks of the likes of Charlie Kelly , Joe Breeze et al . I went to the museum when it was at Crested Butte before it moved .
Closer to home and Porlock just down the road from me , plus a free calendar , can’t wait ! Hurry up !!!! 😬😬😬😬😬

That picture of the puddle splash is bloody ace! who took it?

edit: Oh, it says…ignore me!! It’s still ace though, nice one Mr Scullion!

@stwhannah – we’re still getting 13-14c daytime temperatures here too so the prospect of any decent snow biking is looking slim.

For comparison, this was 19th December 2019!!

I will just add a BUT though Hannah 🙄 not sure I’d class an E Bike as ideal for Winter though ? 🤔 I had a bad experience with my Kona E bike , Bosch Gen 2 motor did not like getting wet 😞 after the 3rd motor in as many years Bosch contacted me directly and advised me to avoid splashing water up onto the motor as “ they don’t like it “ 🙄which kind of put me off riding on the Quantocks with all those stream crossings 😞 Maybe the newer generation holds up better ?
Because of this I’m considering doing the same with my Orbea Rise H15 as roadies do this time of year and mothballing it until March 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄Maybe Shimano have the waterproofing sorted not sure I want to chance it though 😞😞😞😞

Correction. 19th November 2019

Why not! I have missed the magazine’s to be honest and the photos. Bring on another year. 👍

Ah yes, we used to change from 1.95 to 1.75 for winter. Cut through the mud just reet!

I tried too and it wants to add £14 sign up fee plus the annual sub. Is this the pro rata difference between print and digital?

@ditch_jockey Yes @FuzzyWuzzy and @hooli are quite right. Its not a sign up fee its the full amount less a pro rate discount dependent on the current subscription price. We are trying to find a way to make this more user friendly so the process is more obvious, but failing a few times. We put this new code extension which allows our members to vary the price of their subscriptions above our current standard rate through switching a subscription but this might be muddying the waters as far as the transparency of the process is concerned.

I was almost put off by the upgrade fee but then thought, ‘Ah, bugger it. It’ll be worth it.’ so it was a nice surprise to see I wasn’t actually paying it.

Saying that, I went back and reduced the amount I was paying from £45 to £39 so I might just have to buy some more stuff to make up the shortfall.

So yes, very confusing.

@oldfart “Is Dale still running Tyax Air ? ”

No. He sold the operation to Blackcomb Helicopters, and the plane in the photo is probably the one that ended up smashing into the side of a mountain with an old work mate on board earlier this year….. I think I’ll wait for another 5 years before getting in one of those planes up there.

I cancelled my print with some regret as I found the reviews endlessly positive and lacking objective criticism. Everything was great all the time which I found less than convincing. Also e-bikes.
Wish it wasn’t so but I’ll visit it again and reconsider.
