Enduro – Issue 20

One of the best things about Christmas reading is the way it ties in with being happy about the year that has passed and looking forward to the year ahead. That, and how lots of people are on holidays for a few extra days and have time to sit back and take everything in.

Issue 20 of Enduro satisfies the 2011 reflecting and the 2012 planning with some entertaining writing from well known Aussie riders and some stunning photography to bring those stories and dreams to life. Dig in and enjoy it like a good sized bowl of your mum’s Christmas pudding!

The results make me want to jump on my bike and do bridge repeats all summer. Sydney’s booming commuter scene implies I might be up for some competition.

Australian Mountain Bike – December 2011 Issue

Different challenges, deadlines, audience and crew. Enduro Mag already had someone covering the 2011 Scott 24 Hour race, so I enjoyed the chance to branch out and cover the race for Australian Mountain Bike’s December issue. I was also thrilled to see the story featured on the cover – always a sure sign that you’ve picked a winner.Continue reading “Australian Mountain Bike – December 2011 Issue”
