In September we plan to offer shares in Gofar Enterprises ltd. our company that owns Singletrack magazine and this website via the CrowdCube platform.
Does that sound interesting to you?
Own a Piece of Mountain Biking History
Enter your email address above and we’ll keep you updated on our plans, incentives and launch dates. Don’t worry! You aren’t committing to anything at this stage.
We promise we’ll never spam! Take a look at our Privacy Policy for more info.
Next year Singletrack turns 25. That’s a quarter of a century of independence in the bike media world. A lot has happened in that time and we’ve left a lot of history in our wake over the years. It’s a great story and later we’ll tell you about some of it.
We’re continually doing what we need to do to remain a key player in both the mountain bike and publishing world, and we’ve proven time and time again that when the going gets tough, doing the right thing by our subscribers pays off, even if that means asking for their help.
Following the amazing support we received from our readers last year we’ve been looking at how we remain sustainable and not just survive but thrive as a media brand. We’ve looked at every part of the business and we’ve made changes where they were needed – We are adaptable, but now we feel it’s time to adapt again and once more we see our future involving you, our readers, subscribers and website users.
Singletrack has always been about the community. Our independence has allowed us to remain a mountain bike media brand for mountain bikers and by mountain bikers since the very beginning back in 2001. That won’t change and indeed we want to build upon the experience, contacts and knowhow that a quarter of a century has given us in the specialty publishing world
And that’s why we are offering a chance for you to not just be a reader of Singletrack but to own part of it.
In September we will launch a campaign via the CrowdCube platform offering you the chance to become a shareholder of Singletrack. A real shareholder, part owner and with the chance to benefit from our future growth and success.
We will have more information to reveal over the coming weeks, like investment tier incentives, but for now here’s what Singletrack means to Mark & Chipps.
I just noticed that @stwhannah isn’t listed in the ‘Meet the Team’ section on that page. Just an oversight?Â
Hannah posted 2(?) weeks ago to explain that she is sadly leaving STW for pastures new
Hannah (unfortunately) is moving on to somewhere new. She has announced it in a thread somewhere but I can’t remember what it’s called. Some smashing articles from her in the latest magazine, who’s going to step up?
Ah, I missed that.Â
Hear hear. Thank you @stwhannah wherever you are, and good luck.Â
Edit: And Happy Birthday too!
She’s still here until the end of the week and also, today is her birthday 🙂
@ped Right now I’m here, and then I’m off to Velosolutions UK 🙂Â

Many happy returns to you Hannah. We will miss you 🙁
Happy birthday Hannah, good luck in the new job.
She knows that’s two separate set of cakes to be brought in, right? Don’t take any “these are my birthday and leaving cakes" nonsense.
Happy Birthday Hannah!
This sounds like an interesting opportunity (not Hannah’s birthday, although I’m sure that will be interesting too). I saw Mark hinting about something on Bluesky the other week and it got me curious so will be watching out for some more details soon.
Happy birthday/good luck to Hannah
(will watch the shares idea as it develops – quite a difficult sell in commercial terms but interesting idea)
I’m aware of the occasions(s) 🙂
Happy birthday Hannah!
Was that the bass riff from Rocket Queen?Â
Suppose a share proposal is more tangible than just bluntly asking for donations to keep things going as has been done in the past.Â
Hi, you must be new here! Tell us about yourself 🤣Â
Seriously though, while I’m under no illusions, I’d definitely want to know what the long-term prospects are, whether this is a share you’ll hand down to your kids or a last-ditch effort to keep the lights on for another 3 months.Â
I’ve no issue with either, but it’ll obviously affect everyone’s thinking and expectations
