Issue 160. Online before Receiving Print Copy

I know they’ve arrived at stw towers, and I would have expected them to be arriving in the post any day now.

Any print subscribers received issue 160 yet? Over a week since the articles have been published on line. Starting to wonder why I've paid a premium for. print subscription all these years

According to Mark they were all mailed out on Friday so should be landing any day now. A mix up at the distribution centre apparently.

Yes I hate discovering the articles via the website. One pleasure of reading any magazine is to discover the articles, like new goods for you. 

Hi, yes, we got sent our boxes of mags, but for some reason the subscriber ones didn't go in the post on the day I was expecting. And then I went on holiday and left the website to be filled with (paywalled) magazine articles so Benji didn't implode with over work in my absence, thinking the mags would be landing in the post while I was away. It should be sorted now and print mags will be arriving any day. Also, the web versions aren't available unless you're a subscriber. Sorry about all that!

I hate discovering the articles via the magazine. So I don't open it. 😜 

Anyone got theirs yet? 

A very quiet letter box here. Back to work on Monday - it would be good if it landed to have a mellow read over the weekend.

Mine arrived yesterday. 

Another that arrived yesterday.

Mines not arrived yet.

Nigel has delivered! Dennis the dog’s favourite chair booked for late afternoon….

  Nowt yet. Post is a bit once or twice a week locally, but postie managed to deliver two take away menus, a two for one offer at the local eating by pictures pub and something addressed to ‘the homeowner’ , this morning. 

Got mine today. Nice bottle of Singletown ready to accompany it this evening - once I've had a lung full of new magazine smell first obviously.

same here :-/

Arrived 2 days ago, now is my first chance to pick it up. Whilst digesting an epic Easter Sunday roast like a beached whale 🐋

@blokeuptheroad do you have to read it on your driveway?! 
The magazine is a cracking read this month and I particularly like the shade of blue used for the title on the cover, it looks suspiciously like the “new” colour that scientists “discovered” this week. Who got there first, STW or the boffins shining lazers in each other’s eyes?

Seeing as I designed the cover and chose the colour (to match the sky in Ale Di Lullos epic photo) nearly a month ago and sent the mag to print at the end of March, I’m going to claim it as a win for mountain biking! Go us, etc etc  🤣 

stoked you like the issue - we’re all really pleased with it

and if it’s any consolation, my hard copy hasn’t turned up yet either 

Anyone else still not able to download issue 160?

<-- I was going to ask the same - how long after the print issue goes out does the download appear for digital subscribers, please? 

Landed today .

Any idea why international ones take such a long time?

Mine hasn't arrived in France yet.

I subscribe to 3 UK publications:

Economist is published on a Thursday evening and almost always delivered on Saturday (2 days later)

Private Eye is published on a Wednesday. Occasionally delivered on a Saturday (3 days later) but more often Mon/Tues of the following week.

Singletrack always takes ages. Latest one was mailed out on Friday 11 April according to the info from justinbeiber above. 18 days and counting...
