<p style=”text-align: left;”>I can relate to this editorial. I’ve been mountain biking since I was 13, now 47. Mountain biking has shaped and influenced almost every aspect of my life – career, friends, holidays, even indirectly leading to me meeting my wife. I’ve progressed from the fully rigid steel, cantilever braked bikes of late 80’s/early 90’s to my current Cotic Flaremax. Unfortunately my skills don’t mirror the progression in the bikes!😂 But it matters not, because when I get on my bike I’m back to being my 13 year old self, enjoying the new found freedom my bike provides. Back then MBUK was my Bible. These days, even though there’s a seemingly limitless amount of bike info available at a click of a mouse I still love a printed magazine and Singletrack delivers the goods every month. So thanks, and here’s to another 150 issue’s.</p>
