HANNAH

Editor Manager

I’ve had a few peaks of riding this year, and a bunch of time off the bike with stupid injuries. Or rather, injuries caused by stupidity. But the highs have been high, or steep. It’s been hard to pick my Editors’ Choices for this year as it’s been less about the gear and more about the fun, and some of the fun I’ve had I don’t want to publish in a magazine because half the fun is the lack of people on the trails I’ve ridden. Sorry. But I’ve come up with a list of products and places that have brought highs to my year, so I hope you’ll forgive me for the secret-ish locations I’m not telling you about. You’ll just have to go and do your own exploring and see what you can find.
