Ride magazine covers

Ride magazine is a South African cycling publication. Topics of interest to road cyclists, mountain bikers and cycling tourists in Africa are covered. Every issue contains a mixture of in-depth features and short articles on training, nutrition, skills, workshop techniques and new bike products, as well as race reports and accounts of bicycle tours. Articles and race reports focus on the performances of the elite riders locally and internationally, as well as the experiences of those who ride bikes for the fun of it, covering everything from Grand Tours like the Tour de France and the UCI World Cup events to local multi-day mountain biking events like the Absa Cape Epic and Subaru Sani2c, the MTN and MiWay series, and small events with local flavour and plenty of character, such as the Ride Crater Cruise in Parys. Current calendars for Road, MTB, Track and BMX events, shop listings, schedules for cycling programmes on television as well as listings for the national and regional authorities in the various disciplines are also included.

Ten issues are produced per calendar year and in October 2009 the magazine will celebrate its twelfth birthday.
