Our all weather kit

If you don't have a CX or Mountain bike you can always opt for some indoor cycling (see Issue 1 for further details). Out in all weathers the Firefly musette still performs well, best served without ice in our opinion!

It has to be a good summer, that's what we're telling ourselves.

Riding under team orders

Since 4 March we have been constantly processing orders for the magazine, T-shirts and musettes. We never needed any excuse to get out and ride but now we are out at least twice a day to the Post Office. At times the D-Dog messenger bag is pushed to it's limits - hey don't worry, we love it!

Every order is special but overseas orders get us thinking of warmer days and sunnier climates.

Magazine launch party

A milestone day/night for all at Simpson, from a hastily scribbled out note on a piece of paper to an actual printed product; the magazine had come of age. For all those that had inspired and encouraged us along the way this was there night as well as ours.

Great to share the launch celebrations with so many old and new friends alike.

Simpson on press

Literally hot off the press. We've just seen the first edition of Simpson being printed. It's been such a proud moment for us, finally it's here. Printed using their latest Heidelberg press, our printers, The Manson Group have ensured that every detail is perfect.

With delivery due in the next few days, we are ready for our launch party on Friday 1 March.

The Ride issue #7 launch

Good to catch up with The Ride Journal's art director Andrew Diprose at the celebrations for the launch of issue#7 last night.

Now with less than a month in hand Simpson is getting ready to go to press.
