"Mark - Resident Grumpy
Something has clearly gone very wrong. I'll be all over it first thing in the morning. Really sorry about this "
Not the first time is it? One of the reasons I cancelled my subscription.
And nice how he gets on ****ter before the site.
Yeah, what's going on. The least I'd expect is a personal phone call if the magazine is going to arrive a day late. A massage would be nice too, to help with all the stress 🙂
Mine has just arrived...
Anyone having problems downloading the custom version on the android app? Mine is taking forever and I've tried it on two different wifi connections with the same result. It seems to hang at about 1/3 of the way through the download

Check out the brilliant pics of Ecuador! 8)
android app not working (as usual)
Pete... <sighs>
anyway..
Sorry for the cock-up there. Our distributor dropped the ball, which would have been manageable had they kept us informed along the way.
There is three stage process that wasn't followed..
1 - mags come off the printer and are mailsorted and sent out via TNT to subscribers.
2 - THE FOLLOWING DAY - Mags are bundled up and sent out to Bike Shops.
3 - THE FOLLOWING DAY - Mags are sent out to newsagents via TNT.
That whole process is designed to get the mags out to the right places giving the 1st priority to subscribers, then bike shops and then newsagents. Now, I do have the option to increase the delays between stages but sitting on perfectly good stock for too long seems a little unnecessary to me.
In this instance step one was skipped completely due to a delay I'm waiting for an explanation for and also an error in the mailsort data that was produced by our distributor.
Our distributor has offered to send me an apology that I can publish here although I'm thinking of asking her to perhaps send that directly to Pete instead.
But, seriously, to everyone else.. I'm genuinely sorry about this. I can pin the cause on our distributor but it's still our responsibility to get the subs copies to subscribers as soon as is physically possible and in that regard we failed this issue.
I can manage 24hrs of patience, I wouldn't have had a chance to look at it yet anyway!
Loving the ISSUE 87 OUT NOW colour ad at bottom right corner of page 😆
Hopefully mine will be waiting at home for me tonight 8)
I'm off on hols on Thursday next week...if its here by then, then all is forgiven!
Mark
Thanks for posting an update, magazine a couple of days late, whatever will we do? 🙂
In the grand scheme of things I think as a group we can, together, get through this...
Will resist opening mine until later, back to pretending to work 😉
Group hug?
Yup, mine arrived this morning, so working from home has been 'erratic'.
Mine arrived this morning. Will save it to read over the weekend.
I'd just like to point out to all you soft Sotherners that my copy still hasn't made it to the peoples republic of Aberdeenshire. So much for Cameron saying how much he loves us.
<flounce>
Its arrived!
Still nothing... At this rates might be forced to purchase MBR
Yup arrived this morn too so that's tomorrows reading taken care of when I'm on standby.
Mine has arrived, but in a show of solidarity with Roverpig I won't open the bag until his arrives.
Mines arrived safely, unlike the contract for my new car which lost the fight with the Royal Mail sorting machine 😯 😥
Thanks. I appreciate the gesture, but I still want that massage from Mark 🙂
FFS, mine better turn up soon I'm nursing a turtle head and don't want to read about bleeding cx bikes again!
Mine arrived this morning - but considering Todmorden is only 10 miles away its not much to shout about 😉
Yep mine was on the doormat when I got home,got say this isn't the first time this has happened recently hmmmm 😕
Got mine today, many thanks guys! Enjoyed reading it in the bath... 🙂
mine has not arrived yet.
I feel a rant and a rage coming on... Oh hang on, it is only a magazine that is a couple of days late.
Arrived today.
I suggest Singletrack fine the distributor. Our customers fine us when we are non-compliant, and we send debit notes to our suppliers when they do the same.
Arrived today, but I've already read it online already.
No, not yet.
How far is it, from Todmorden to Prestwich ?
Mine arrived today 🙂
Mine hasn't hit Prestwich yet either. I am holding my breath in protest.
Late magazines I can cope with but another CX bike tested! WTF? Did you not listen to the grumbling about the last issue?
Arrived through the letter box today
OK matbee you can get stuck in now. Mine arrived today 🙂
Mine arrived this afternoon.
Two things:-
1) a gps does not report its position to satellites
2) logarithms are exponents, algorithms pre-compute searches
Thanks for those randoms David..
er..
... I got mine on Monday? That was first class to a work address though, which certainly seems to knock a couple of days off delivery times regardless of amount stamps on the front in sunny South Yorkshire...
Cheers Roverpig, off for a 'sit down' in a mo, I'll take it with me...
Going on hols tomoz .....long flight no STW = :-((((
Mark, re-read Benji's article and the Wales one and then my random pedantry might become clearer
Mines here and ace 🙂
Shame about the photo-shopped bike on the front cover, spoils a great picture. Pads but no gloves, mis-matched bike/rider size, perfectly clean - purleez...
