Our chief bike tester Steve Jones has been sending out images of Israeli landscapes and singletrack rides through According to Jones, the IMMENSE anticipation (‘cos we know you’re feeling it too) will be worth it in the end.

Apparently it’s not that he doesn’t want to tell us, more that he has been sworn to secrecy. According to his Twitter account the wait will be well worth it, and we know that whatever Jones has up his sleeve will be exclusive to our publication. We’re excited, and so too should you be.  Steve Jones on holiday riding trails in Israel. But what is it he’s been testing out there?

Anyway, rest assured that all will be revealed in the next issue of Dirt (out end of feb)…

On another note, anyone know who this troublesome Barn Owl character on Twitter is?
