My first article in a print MTB magazine

Postby mtbgreg1 » Mon Mar 26, 2012 11:57 am

This past Friday marked a new personal milestone: I had my first article published in a print mountain bike magazine! While I love writing for the internet, and specifically for Singletracks.com, there's just something special about seeing my work published in such a venerable mountain bike publication.

The article in question was a short news piece about the Southeast Bike Expo, and if you're interested in reading it you can find it in Dirt Rag issue #162, page 18--check it out!!!

Very cool man. I'm a bit jealous...I love writing but do not have nearly enough free time to practice it. I was once into radio controlled cars and had a few articles posted on a big time forum for the hobby and that alone felt great. Getting something in print would be an awesome accomplishment.

If you look REALLY closely you'll see the words "Inspired by the most awesome person I know, Goldengoose." Thanks Greg. Didn't know you cared so much. :wink:
