We’ve been getting some reports from our Print Subscribers that they’ve had delays in getting their copies of Issue 62 through the post. First off we’d like to apologise to anyone that’s been affected – we’re very sorry for that. A big bonus of being a subscriber to Singletrack is the fact that you get your copy before it appears in the shops and that hasn’t happened with Issue 62.
There are two reasons for the delay. One is the backlog at the Royal Mail due to the recent heavy snowfall across the UK. The second has been a delay at the publishers.
To explain, what usually happens is that subscriber copies are collected from the publishers by the Royal Mail two days before copies are allowed to go out to the general newstrade and bike shops. That means that subscribers should always get their copies through the post before they’re generally available. The fact the publishers were a day late getting the magazine published, combined with the snow and it being Royal Mail’s busiest week of the year thanks to the Christmas rush has meant it just hasn’t worked that way.
By way of apology, here’s some lovely wallpaper from the Sicily feature as a little gift from us to you…

Hope it turns up before I go off on Holiday!!
Bout the only way i can get it in Ireland without a massive trawl of shops.
And its not arrived 🙂
…..still waiting!!
i am sure i will be worth it????
“Not arrived in Cheshire today but I’m sure it will come soon.”
+1
Strange though as a big package of stuff sent 2 days ago from Edinburgh 2nd class arrived this morning!
That line choice looks bad – surely that rider is gonna plummet down the side of the next set of logs………
Fingers crossed I get it before Xmas, but won’t have time to read it before then anyway. Not long finished #61. Subs means I do buy every issue and if I buy it I eventually read it.
from the front page, looks like you need to be serving in afganistan to get a posted copy 😉
i buy mine from smiths anyway (actually tesco last night though)
it arrived this morning..in Herts
Not yet reached Woking…
Still not got mine today in Fife,
Postie’s been this morning – but still no singletrack…
I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait!!
Same here, i didn’t think i lived that far North!
I hope iss. 62 has a calendar! Does it?
bum, still nothing here in sunny Myth (a full 6 ish miles away from Singletrack towers!)
Nothing on the mat either in the furthest west bit of Cheshire. Bloody junk mail still gets through 🙁
Arrived Monday in the mystic East.
Hi all
The situation with Issue 62 not landing with a number of subscribers, really is as maddening for us, as frustrating for you. We’ve run the news article, posted a temporary PDF version for Premier subscribers and apologised, but would like to express again how sorry we are some subs copies are still not with you this Wednesday.
We know you’re chomping at the bit to get reading but can only ask that you just bear with us while Royal Mail actually deliver those that they already have for despatch, first.
We are monitoring the situation closely.
Cheers and again, thanks for your continued patience.
Jamie
Arrived with me today.
Make sure you get some money back from the royal fail though!
Mine’s still not here.
Still nowt 🙁
