Singletrack Magazine

Singletrack Magazine

"Singletrack" is a UK based mountain biking magazine and web site. The magazine is aimed at more mature mountain bikers and intended to provided a counterpoint to magazines such as MBUK which are aimed at a younger audience. The magazine has an irregular podcast, which was the first for a mountain biking magazine.

"Singletrack" was founded in 2001 by Chipps Chippendale, Mark Alker and Shaun Murray. The magazine is currently published seven times a year.

"Singletrack" grew from an earlier web site, GoFar, an acronym for 'Get Out For A Ride', which ran from 1998 to 2001 and was founded by Matt Wenham along with many contributors from the uk.rec.cycling Usenet newsgroup including Shaun Murray, Callum Wilson, Tony Raven, Russell Pinder, Myra VanInwegen and others, and from outside Usenet, Mark Alker, Carvel Lonsdale and many more. GoFar was largely a reaction to the death of the Future Publishing magazine 'Mountainbike World' on which Chipps Chippendale once worked.

"Singletrack" is based in Todmorden, West Yorkshire, UK
