Competition: Win an Osprey 2012 calendar
Yes it’s January, yes the weather’s grim but it’s also a new year, and we’ve got 12 months of non-stop mountain biking ahead of us. So cheer up, alright?
To celebrate the new year we’ve got 10 calendars from backpack manufacturer Osprey to give away. Each month features a great riding shot, including some Osprey-sponsored athletes like Tracy Moseley and Thomas Schmitt, plus plenty of space to pencil in events, races and group rides.
All you need to do to enter is tell us…
Q: What are you looking forward to most in the mountain bike world this year?

The closing date is Wednesday January 11 at 4pm. Winners will be announced shortly after.

I’m looking forward to reading my name on the winners list of Bike Magic’s website then marking off the days, on my new shiny calendar, to the next competition on Bike Magic.
Looking forward to some Epic Self Supported Adventures in Wales this summer.
Whilst wearing my Osprey pack obviously!
Getting back into racing and trying out some new gravity enduros.
Some sunshine!
Looking forward to the dusty summer trails and ripping up some woods on the hard-tail.
First year I will try full-suss riding as well, which is exciting.
And of course watching the Olympic Mountain biking!! That should be epic!
Just riding my bike more…last year was a disaster in terms of biking and Iv’e gone backwards so this year is a year of rediscovery! (Or it better be as this biking malarky is costing me a small fortune for remaining stationary!)
I should win a calendar because there are so far only 5 comments and there are 11 calendars and Tracy Moseley is rather nice.
+ Off to the Alps with the lads to a Trail addiction holiday , can’t wait.
A new job and a chance to get out more!!
A titanium soft tail with light-weight, bottom-bracket mounted hub gears!
The world cup at fort william (watching obviously) and doing better in the tour de ben nevis (taking part). And doing 1 more race than 2012.
Getting to and riding in as many events as I possibly can, on my new bike, and a cycle ride/adventure, ending at the London Olympics
Treating myself to either a hardtail or full sus 29er. Decisions, decisions!
Buy my 1st Full Sus bike, pos a Transtion Bandit or Covert or if i can not rasie the funds for them see if i can find one of the last Pitchs still in the sale?
Experiencing some of Scotland’s sweet singletrack on a Biking holiday!
I am looking forward to doing more mountain biking, getting fitter, and subsequently quicker on my favourite singletrack. The faster I go the more adrenalin rush I get. I am also looking forward very much to the Olympic Mountain Biking event and trying the course out for myself at some point.
Eating more cheese!
Watching the Olympic mountain biking. I managed to get some tickets! The calendar will help me count down the days.
light summer evenings for riding
I’m looking forward to opening each calendar month and seeing what the new picture is !
Tracking Single Speed Mike’s GPS as he goes for the round the round the world record! I’ve told him that all the cool kids do it in 80 days (and that’s only 225 miles a day)
that buzz of meeting someone you don’t know on a trail, and that fun pitting your skills against them, followed by the obligatory chat at the end, as we’re friendly folk when all is said and done?!
Oh, and the illicit purchases of bike goodies you have to sneak past your partner: “these tyres? No, had them ages darling, honest”
I am excited to get outside and explore some new trails.
Danny Hart dominating and the look on the competition’s faces as they start to ponder ‘Is it time to pack it all in?”
A whole summer away yet but I’m looking forward to the Isle of Man End2End.
Looking forward to dusty singletrack, riding through woods with the smell of pine, blue skies, long warm sunny days and barmy evenings. Sharing laughs and spills with my mates.
I’m looking forward to watching the best riders in the world competing in the Olympics this summer. The course may not be a traditional mtb course but it should be fast and fun to watch!
