Greets to all,



The following is from Patrick Brady, a good friend of mine and former feature

and product writer from the late Bicycle Guide/bicyclist mag. I have seen his

new magazine and it is VERY nicely done. The focus is on racing, fast

touring, bike product review, and general roadie topics of conversation. It's

done quarterly, and is not cheap, but then again it's really beautifully

printed and covers some neat, less-mainstream stuff. He is planning on coming

up to Oregon for a feature on Co-Motion, and will also be at Sea Otter if

anyone is heading down for that. I only have a single copy, but the website

shows some of the things from the first issue, such as riding near Ventoux,

junior coach Toby Stanton, and promoter Bob Leibold. If there is interest,

I'll try to see if he is sending copies to any outlets in the area.



Thanks for any interest!

Dear Cycling Enthusiast,



We are writing to let you know about Asphalt, a new lifestyle magazine



for the dedicated road cyclist. I would GREATLY appreciate it if you



would pass this email on to your club members.





Founded by long-time cycling writer Patrick Brady and cycling enthusiast



Lorraine Daly, Asphalt is a magazine for the cyclist that dreams about



riding while at work, researches each bike purchase, is looking for the



perfect fit, and thinks all vacations include a bike. Each issue of



Asphalt features great riding (both in the U.S. and abroad), fascinating



people, in-depth bike reviews, and thoughtful looks at the cycling life.





Asphalt?s contributors include highly-regarded cycling writers Maynard



Hershon, J.P. Partland and Owen Mulholland.





Published quarterly, Asphalt is perfect bound and printed on



heavy-weight, glossy paper--the type of quality befitting the world?s



finest road bikes, destinations and riders. The first issue contains 84



pages, 79 of which are devoted to editorial content.





The first issue of Asphalt will be available in January 2003. Asphalt is



a reader-supported publication and is available directly from the



publisher and through select bike shops, but will not be available on



newsstands. Subscriptions for one year (4 issues) are $34.95 and



individual copies are $9.95





Go to www.asphaltmag.com to see some excerpts from the first issue, or



contact the publisher at: in-@asphaltmag.com.





THANK YOU for your consideration.





Keep riding,



Patrick Brady and Lorraine Daly
