December/ January 2011
Welcome to the December/ January issue of Mountain Bike Tales where our editors have stepped away from online holiday shopping long enough to deliver the goods. This month we test Giant's XTC 0 carbon fiber mountain bike, some new flavors of Gu energy gel, the Ibex Indie wool jersey and some more of our editors' top gift ideas. We tackle your toughest questions and return with all of our usual rants and goodies. Check it out, and as always we welcome your feedback.

Unlike a majority of the press currently available, we are seeking writers to share their own Mountain Bike adventures with the world. MBT is not designed as simply a showcase for advertisers, but rather a meeting place for riders. So please feel free to send us your tales, tips, photos, places to ride, maps, or suggestions for publication consideration so that the Mountain Bike community can feel your presence. MBT has been crafted not only for riders, but by riders so that the corporate weight that the magazine industry balances on its shoulders can give way to the fundamentals of the sport of Mountain Biking, since after all this is really what it is all about.
