What I enjoyed most about picking up the new issue of Enduro was how excited I felt discovering new content as I moved from cover to cover. There are so many stories from the last six months of racing, a huge collection of interviews and a stack of product tests – all of which speak volumes about this thriving mountain bike scene and the different characters involved.

I remember finding the racing really exciting, but also feeling quite nervous during the lead up to each event.
