I have never really been one for reading mountain bike magazines but I think these days I need to keep in touch more. So if I was to subscribe to one, which one should it be??

Here is a free online one

Decent articles and great photos, perhaps a little anglocentric but then they are based in the UK.
Issue 11 has a review of the blue pig

I second that rad publication, it featured the new prospective Irish Olympic XC champ in it a few weeks back....

don't normally buy them myself, they're like monthly catalogues
for the money, get an energy gel and have a shandy

I agree with Graham,

In past i used MBR but after few years there is nothing new in it, same story etc.
Just more adverts etc

Try to find something online,

Men's Health is the best value for money, not specifically bike oriented but has some bike stuff, with plenty of dietary advice, gadgets etc...it's great value on a 36 month subscription too...
