June’s issue of Singletrack Magazine is about to head to the printer for… er… printing. It’ll also be making its way through the digital pipes so that you can read it in a variety of electronic formats. However, if you’re planning on lying on a beach, or perhaps camping somewhere peaceful, perhaps you’d like the soothing immersive experience of print. Turn off, dive in, tune out the world.
Whatever format you choose to read, you can be sure of a great mix of adventure, information, opinion and imagery to stoke the imagination. Make sure you’ve signed up and kept your payment and address details up to date by 25th May to secure your access to this edition.

Issue 149 Cover
This issue’s cover is by Martin Bissig. It’s got a distinctly Scottish Island feel to it, though that’s not in fact where it was taken…
- Camera: DJI Mini 3 Pro
- Settings: 1/50s, f1.7, ISO100, 6.7mm
- RIders: Franziska Gobeli, Gerhard Czerner
- Location: Soca Valley, Slovenia
The renowned Soca River, which courses through the valley bearing its name, is a popular destination in Slovenia for hikers and river rafting enthusiasts. During our two-day stay in Soca as part of our Slovenian road trip, the weather took an unexpected turn and rain began to pour. The image captured here is the final one before a relentless 24-hour downpour ensued. The once tranquil, blue water transformed into a muddy, raging current in the days that followed, making it impossible to capture any more picturesque scenes featuring the river’s signature clear, blue water.
