Even though the weather may not be ideal for riding at the moment, we’re busy preparing singletracks for the 2010 season and we’re super stoked! In case you missed it, here’s what’s been happening @ singletracks over the last few weeks:

MTB Gear Reviews

In December we added more than two hundred 2010 mountain bikes to the site so you can find the best ride this year. We also just linked more than 100 new product videos to the gear pages and launched “Sweet Bike,” an online app that allows you to spec custom rigs. Both can be found via the tabs on product pages.

Another change you may not have noticed is that we’ve started compiling the “Best of” list for 2010. The list will be constantly updated based on member reviews through September so rate your gear to help us find this season’s best stuff!

2010 MTB Race and Festival Calendar

The mountain bike race calendar is filling up fast and at last count we showed nearly 100 events listed for 2010. If you’re racing or organizing a local event, pop over to the calendar and tell us about it.

iPhone and Facebook Stuff

This week we announced our new mobile site with a special iPhone feature that helps you find the closest bike trails and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. This year we’ll be beefing up our mobile offerings so you can find and navigate mountain bike trails all over the world.

Our Facebook Fan Page has also been taking off this year and we recently passed the 3,000 fan mark (which pales in comparison to the 110,000 members on singletracks but it’s a start). If you aren’t a fan yet, add us and join the conversation.

SingletracksT-shirts and Jerseys

In December we received yet another batch of singletracks t-shirts, enough to (hopefully) last through the spring. If you don’t have one already, they’re just $10 and all the proceeds go to IMBA. We also created our first official jersey and if you didn’t get a chance to pre-order, there are just a few left for purchase. Just like the tees, all proceeds from the jerseys will go to IMBA in 2010.

We hope you’re as stoked as we are for mountain biking this year. See you on the trail!

We’re cleaning out our blog queue this month to get ready for summer and we realized we never announced two new features that have been lurking on the site for several months now.

MTB Tour Reviews: Most of us have never been on a commercial mountain biking tour but if you’re thinking about doing one you’ll want to do your homework. That’s why we added a section where you can find out about the various tours and tour operators, view pics, and even review tours you’ve taken.There are currently 40 MTB tours listed from Asia to North & South America to Europe.

We haven’t had much action on the review side yet (probably since we haven’t promoted the section and only a few dozen riders complete each tour annually) but we hope to get some good tour feedback this summer. Anyone can add tours, pics, and reviews plus you can even create a MTB tour wishlist.

MTB Club Links: Finding local mountain biking clubs can be hit or miss depending on where you live so we recently created a list of MTB clubs around the world. Clubs are organized by state and you’ll find links to the club website and information on which areas the club serves. Anyone can submit a club website for inclusion but all submissions will be moderated to keep the riff-raff out. Dot-org websites are preferred

We’re also still collecting trailhead locations for our Google Map project (we’re at 36% for those keeping track) and we hope to have something up before summer. And don’t forget: singletracks t-shirts are back in stock and are still available for the rock bottom price of $10 each.
