Vote Now! Best Article – Singletrack World Awards 2023

Best article… a fairly simple one! The best piece of writing you’ve read this year, either in print or on this here website.

Thanks for your nominations in this category. Here are the finalists…

Look at the Time – Chipps

Surely there’s nothing we don’t already know about Rob Warner? It’s not as if he’s exactly quiet, is it? However, between the swear words, there was gold in Chipps’ interview with Rob Warner. Insight into a character that is perhaps a little more complex than the loud exterior might suggest.

Eager Beavers – Pete Scullion

As part of his ‘Purposeful Adventures’ series, Pete took a more gentle approach to riding than we often see from him. No massive mountain to climb, instead he and Rosie Holdsworth went pottering through the trees, taking in the wildlife and searching for traces of Scotland’s elusive beaver population. The result is a happy tale of friends on bikes appreciating each other’s company and the surroundings they’re in.

Looking the other way – Steve Bate MBE

This story charted Steve’s unsuccessful attempt at a winter HT550, in a spell of weather which proved to be some of the coldest the country has ever seen. Despite nearly losing his toes, and having to give up the attempt, Steve’s story is one of achievement and an inspiring lesson in attitude adjustment.

Spanish Bike Packing – Amanda

In this web series, Amanda charts a ‘holiday’ bike packing ride across Spain. Caterpillars that sting, weather that bites, and hunger that gnaws – perhaps she should have a word with her travel agent? Sitting somewhere between inspiring you to get out there, and being glad that she suffered so you don’t have to, her honesty and humour has won this series many positive comments.

Bring Your eh Game – Tim Wild

You book in the trip of a lifetime, and find yourself in deep. Deep in the middle of nowhere. Deep in snow. Deep into your skillset… maybe even scraping the bottom of the talent barrel. Tim Wild’s tale of going all in and coming out the other side to tell the tale had us all wondering if we’d be brave enough to put ourselves really out there.

Art Director

Amanda is our resident pedaller, who loves the climbs as much as the descents. No genre of biking is turned down, though she is happiest when at the top of a mountain with a wild descent ahead of her. If you ever want a chat about concussion recovery, dealing with a Womb of Doom or how best to fuel an endurance XC race, she's the one to email.
