Sneak Peek

Ric McLaughlin Thursday, Apr 17, 2008 12.00am

Right, don’t tell anyone but here’s a little head's up as to what we’ve got coming your way next month…

Comp prizes first. We’ve been giving away top mountain biking kit for two decades now so it’s only right that for our anniversary issue we’ve got a few extra special prizes lined up…

Ever been bugged to put your smelly bike kit away? Not anymore you won’t. (We’re not going to kidnap your mum/girlfriend/wife, don’t worry.)

I’ve been tearing my (plentiful) hair out recently. The entries for last month's Marin comp have been crowding up my already dog-slow computer, but for the bike we’ve got lined up for issue 225 I’m threatening to leave the country…

Like maintenance? Jump bikes? Fox clobber? Endura kit? Mint trainers? Nights out withMBUK’s own Ian Collins? Well, I lied about the last one but all in we’re giving away more than £15,000 worth of the best bike kit in the world, because we are the best bike mag in the world. Fact. 

We’ve also got the inaugural MBUK Hall of Fame celebrating the founding fathers and most influential people in British mountain biking, along with a feature celebrating some new faces you might be hearing a lot more of…

There’s an all new column, retro long-term bikes and a load more anniversary nonsense alongside all our trademark expert testing and technical features.

Free gifts anyone? We’ve got some lush…no, that’s it, you’ll have to wait. They’re too good to let you in on just yet. All we’ll tell you is that they rock harder than anything we’ve given away before… Get excited!
