Goodbye 2009: And what a rollercoaster year that was! There were many ups and downs as we launched our 'Big' Riders Digest on sale in news outlets across the UK. As with most progression, while the tunnels seemed long and dark at times it has also been incredibly exciting and even thrilling on occasion! As we exit the year we want to say a huge thank you to all those who have supported us and contributed to this success (the readers being key here!) Whether it's been through luck or judgement, we've continued to grow through 2009 and look forward, with anticipation, to more of the same as we enter the new decade. Hello 2010: We've had some tremendous feedback from those who are just discovering the mag in the news outlets. Now, we are on a mission to share our monthly package of Two Wheel Passion with as many bike enthusiasts as possible in 2010. Our hope is that it brings as much enjoyment and entertainment to their lives as it does our existing readers. We have loads of activities planned this year (more rollercoaster riding!). There will be massive in store promotion around our April issue (out in March). This issue will also be stocked in lots of independents who haven't taken the Rider's Digest before. If you want your local shop to stock it this will be a good time to influence them. The popular BMF shows, organised by Mulberry Events, will see a huge Rider's Digest presence. This gives us the chance to meet many more motor cyclists and introduce our pocket sized 'Big' mag. We have a huge space at the shows, and anticipate initiating many thousands of motor cyclists to the Rider’s Digest experience. We can't wait to meet them! Mulberry has won the contract to organise the shows for the next three years, and we're really looking forward to working alongside them to make these events a must in the motorcyclist's calendar. The show dates will be: BMF Show, Peterborough May 15th/16th GEMS, Kent June 12th/13th Kelso, July 10th/11th Tail End, Lincoln 18th/19th September (new venue) Further details: www.bmf.co.uk/events www.themulberrygroup.com Next issue, new features and current favourites: Our first mag of 2010 is now published. We've the usual great spread of articles that our readers are eager to clap eyes on each month. In this issue you can read about the KTM Adventure, a bike that impressed round the world traveller and Digest regular Geoff Thomas, plus Moto Guzzi's stonking Sport 1200 V4. We sent our editor out onto the green lanes of Surrey and Hampshire to ride with a new off road guided rides outfit, and get very wet. And the unruly tourer Rod Young continues his bar, beer and scenery tour of Croatia. We're introducing two new features in 2010: 'Making It Happen', where we profile those who make motorcycling happen in all its manifestations, have an interesting story to tell, yet rarely get recognised. Tired of reading about Rossi, great as he is? We'll also be bringing you 'It's All About the Sport': front line experiences from those 'on any Sunday' events you won't read about in MCN etc. We won't be changing the eclectic mix our readers seem to love and have more great travel articles lined up, and regular favourites like 'What's In your Garage' and 'Outside the Box' will run and run. www.theridersdigest.co.uk Your message.
