And now it’s my turn…

It’s usually Sim or me, or sometimes Benji who gets to make this post but this time I’m the last one left in the office and can say ‘The magazine is at the printers!’

It’s gone on a Tuesday, which is a day earlier than usual (and a week earlier than our worst ever deadline) and it’s only cost Sim and I a Saturday of working in the office extra, so that’s good too. There have been the usual setbacks, last minute missing pages and things, but it’s gone pretty well overall. So now we can get round to working out what’s in the next issue, and indeed the whole of next year now. Should be fun.

But first, I have a half bottle of wine and some beans on toast to look forward to. There’ll be a contents list of the new issue on the website tomorrow. Night all!

Chipps Chippendale

Singletrackworld's Editor At Large

With 23 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps is the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Over the last 30 years as a bike writer and photographer, he has seen mountain bike culture flourish, strengthen and diversify and bike technology go from rigid steel frames to fully suspended carbon fibre (and sometimes back to rigid steel as well.)
