"The Ride" magazine launch Tue 24th Rubgy tavern

Mouse I gotta check the mag out! Keep a copy with you..
Saw you trackstanding at Edgware road this morning on my way to Luton.. in a car.. to get onto a jet... to Lisbon.. to drive a car.. to increase my carbon footprint.

don't worry Intersection is saving some carbon by screwing up my subscription at the mo'.

:)

I got pretty excited a few weeks ago when i became aware of The Ride. I sent a "Please, Please, Please keep me posted" email. I'm glad to hear the launch is imminent and can't wait to see issue 1.

The Ride Launch was great! I love that there are now two local super well done mags in circulation ;)
Good job guys x jac

It's a good mag...my publisher girlfriend was hugely impressed with the production standard.

I'm really glad to see Philip's work continuing on this path. I met him when he did 'written in the streets'* and immediately knew he was a sound guy with great ideas and skills.

*starring yours truly (amongst others)

Good to see some familiar faces, well done to the Diprose boys - and other's who I don't know, sorry! - on the mag, and all who contributed. I love the classic shot of Rob Warner mid-air, sans-bike, in a truly terrifying position (Steve Behr; legendary MTB photographer).

Cornelius, as usual, all my ideas are now lost to the mists of time and alcohol, but this might help you out;

...Although, you're probably thinking modern flip-flip-fixies over a mountain stage of the TdF - or was that just me?

i was thinking modern bikes, fixed fixed, over any stage of the TdF, think a throwback/retro stage would do wonders for the tour as well as the riders, if you look at american sports, baseball, and basketball especially, they bring out throwback jerseys and team kits all the time, why can't the TdF do the same with merino wool jerseys, minimal logo's, riding a stage fixed fixed, it would be awesome...

It is a great mag, really lovely illustrations, nice layout, good solid articles, and it's genius having old nobbly knees Mike Kloser doing an article at the back. Haven't heard shit about him since I was racing MTBs back in '90!

i read it today over coffe, good mag

Glad everyone had a good one.
I talked myself horse and got drunk and almost got knocked off by another rider on the way hoe... oh, the irony!

Was so good to see so many nice riders... and bikes!

Copies in Condor... and Magma next week.

I love the idea. A couple of years ago I did the eroica on a 1950 double fixed. (Flipped it twice. Too much work. HTFU.) It may have been one of the hardest rides I ever did. Downhill, gravel and 23mm tubs are not the easiest combination.

Ive been touting the idea of making modern riders ride the same way ever since...

I don't actually cycle anywhere, just take up a position and trackstand till someone spots me. I was there 4 hours. 4 hours I tell you!...
