Those MTB mags that talk about ‘just get out and ride’, because anyone who buys those (or any other) MTB mag is clearly not, ‘just getting out and riding’.
The fact of the matter is that those people who don’t give a toss about the MTB scene and all the bike jiggery pokery that goes with it, including those mags, but own a mountain bike and go out every weekend, are the only ones that ‘just get out and ride’. And, no one here, on this website forum ‘just gets out and rides’, because we spend more than half our time ‘just’ reading the mags, ‘just’ fannying about on this website forum and ‘just’ wan£ing over expensive blingy bike parts.
I found that pretty annoying – god forbid anyone be so into something that it extends beyond the actual riding.
I pretty much buy every mag and ride plenty thanks.
Right better get packed to hit the Quantocks, riding 4th day out of 4 this bank holiday weeked… :roll:
