Privateer fills a much overlooked hole in the world of mountain bike mags. They write for people who are hooked on the sport for life, and have been for a while. Time saved leaving the ins and outs of the sport for other publications, means dedicated space for exploring the nuances of the game and the personalities it attracts.Continue reading “Privateer – In the bag”

SRAM Singletrack Mind Series Ad
Do you have a Singletrack Mind? Turns out I sure do! I was pretty excited to see this great photo by Dave Bateman land on an advertisement for the 2012 SRAM Singletrack Mind NSW Enduro Series.
If you’re still planning what races to get excited about this year, it’s well worth adding some of these ones to your wish list. With options to go hard as a solo, harder as a pair, or take more time off the bike to eat, chat and get excited in a three, the day is what you make it. The great race atmosphere at these events then just adds to the experience. Juniors have the option to race in a four as well. Surely that’s why some of them are so quick!
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!
Urban Biking Shoot
Biking is more than a means from A to B – or A to the finish line – it has a habit of creeping up on people and becoming a lifestyle. This week I caught up with photographer Bill Hatcher and MarathonMTB.com co-founder, Mike Blewitt, to add some two wheeled colour to some iconic urban locations. 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”
