Cranked CC MTB Magazine Issue 24

Me, Jane & Angus have been off this week so have had some days out and about and catching up with some jobs / buying as the shops etc are fully reopened. Whilst we were in Harrogate I called in past WH Smiths to have a flick through the latest copy of Cranked cc mtb magazine. Sometimes there are not enough articles of interest for me to spend the tenner but this issue - 24 looked a lot more up my street. I used to subscribe to this magazine when it first come out onto the market but now I just buy the odd copy now and again. On that note if you buy direct from Cranked online for postal it is £13 per copy inc your p&p but if you order on NEWSTSAND website you get free p&p so each copy is a straight tenner to your door. I have not had a chance to get a good start on reading it yet and the forecast next week is looking fantastic (see photo below) so I will have to keep for a rainy day or two in the future.  

Cranked #24 is our ‘so that was the zombie apocalypse, was it?’ issue. Andrew Findlay takes a trip down memory lane in central America, Cass Gilbert finds solace in a route to the beach and Dan Wynn sets off to conquer over 200 Lake District summits with an old bike and some home-made panniers. Meanwhile, Sven Martin goes slowly mad in a Kiwi hotel room, Cranked’s writers pontificate on a year of viral riding and Tom Hill discovers how trail centres saved British mountain biking.

• On Any Given Thursday – BMXers and MTBers unite in The Shire
• Desert Song – the sound of silence
• Sven 14 Years… in 14 Days – the fruits of two weeks’ isolation and 14 years at the sharp end
• Three – checking our privilege
• Wainwrights – so many summits, so little time
