March 2019 - Tour 2019: 32-page motorcycle route special
Welcome
There are two ways to tackle winter: attack it head-on, ride through the worst of it and celebrate when the weather turns; or take shelter and use the cold days and dark nights to sort your bike and make serious plans for summer.
You’ll find great examples of both in this issue. We met up with a bunch of RiDE readers who ride through winter whatever the weather. Their argument is compelling but sub-zero temperatures aren’t for everyone.
If you prefer your biking warm, there is plenty of inspiration for road-trips in our Tour 2019 special feature. The hints, tips and pictures of amazing roads should be enough inspiration to get you through the worst that Jack Frost has to throw as us. Now’s the time to make plans...
