The Ride Journal is a collection of short essays and great pictures bringing together cycle passion from every corner of the world, and issue three is now available.

As the official blurb says: “issue 3 should help you get through the dark and dreary winter, or at least inspire you to stick on another layer and get out riding whatever the weather is doing.” Can’t complain with that.

In issue 3 you can expect features on the Atherton family, Joe Murray revealing his favourite bike, a 90-year-old Second World War veteran describing his pre-war racing and Steve Peat writing about the home sacrifices you make to be world champion.

There’s also mountain biking in Pakistan, getting arrested in New York, political change in Columbia and even a rider who built a caravan onto his bike. Throw in some stunning photography of cyclo-cross from Oregon, large format BMX and the tour as you won’t have seen it, and much more…

You’ll be able to get the latest issue from Monday 9 November by heading to www.theridejournal.com.
