"Dear RIDE Readers,
I am writing to let you know that the production of the 28th edition of RIDE Cycling Review is almost complete. Due for release on 23 April, the Autumn 2005 issue is 220 pages of pure cycling! It boasts coverage of the early-season races -- from the Australian national championships, to the early rounds of the new ProTour (including this weekend's Paris-Roubaix) as well as the world track championships.
We have exclusive interviews with the world time trial champion Michael Rogers, Allan Davis, Bradley Wiggins and the first part of a new diary from Allan Peiper.
The five bikes on test are from Giant, Cervelo, Kuota, Anatomic and Proton -- all are carbon-fibre beauties which are bound to impress. We also help Bianchi celebrate its 120th year as a bicycle manufacturer and take a close look at two of the brand's historic creations -- the bike used by Felice Gimondi in 1968 and Moreno Argentin's 1986 world championship bike -- as part of RIDE's Retro Reviews.
There is all the usual news in Snippet, plus columns from Australia's star riders (including a new installment from Kate Bates) and latest and product reviews in Paraphernalia. It's everything you've come to expect from Australia's premier cycling magazine... only this time it's HUGE!
Also inside the next issue you'll find details of our RIDE Wear catalogue -- including new RIDE socks with Coolmax fibres and RIDE's sensational arm warmers which are perfect for this time of year and a bargain at 19.95!
If you want to have a sneak preview, or order yours on-line you can do so on RIDE's website thanks to a new secure payment gateway that we have established at:

Just click on the RIDE Wear button to have a look a the superb new sock designs. To buy, simply click the button on the right of the page.
Finally, I'm pleased to announce that the winner of the Orbea bike as part of the survey in RIDE's 27th edition has been drawn. Congratulations Mr V. Brown of Midway Point in Tasmania!
With kind regards,
Dave Heaven
