Not sure if any of you already know about this, but it's a decent free online mtb magazine that's normally worth a read. they had a new issue out a couple of weeks ago which is quite interesting (mainly if you like reading about a trip to portugal from multiple perspectives! think winter must be a slow season for them)

I've always taken a look at it despite the fact that most of the riding they show is way out of my league. Still, the photos are great and the reviews are usually worth a look.

I think that's the point. In fact I'm struggling to think what wide open in relation to cycling might actually mean.

Indeed...dissapointed to not see top shelf art pamphlett.

I presume the title refers to a [i]throttle[/i] being wide open, thus implying machinery operating at maximum (a metaphorical throttle on a bicycle, of course).

I still reckon asking an elderly relative for a subscription to "[i][b]Wide open[/b][/i]" magazine is guarranteed to be met with a raised eyebrow and a coughing fit...

As a point of clarity. We actually used to run an online dentistry magazine but grew weary and passionless with the industry ... When we discovered mountain bikes we worked out that we could really just change a few words and the copy carried over directly. "I love [s]teeth[/s] bikes" etc. It seemed easier just to keep the name than rebrand.

thanks for posting this up by the way pjt201 - much appreciated! We're no singletrack but we do our best ๐Ÿ™‚

I really like the mag, particularly the interactive content (links to videos, product sites etc). More of this please. It must be the future of magazines and a lot of mags could learn from yours.
Lots of ads but it's free so I can live with that. Keep it up mate!
