The latest Cycling Plus is a bumper edition complete with a waterproof cycling wallet and a 52-page adventure riding guide for every reader.
That bonus adventure guide has everything you need to plan big rides and bikepacking trips, both on-road and off, in 2021 and beyond. You’ll find expert tips on kit, bikes, routes and events.
In the main magazine, we run the rule over the latest generation of aluminium road bikes, with four of the best metal rides put through their paces.
Plus, if you subscribe to Cycling Plus you’ll receive a free Lezyne light worth £55.

There are also first-ride reviews of two new e-gravel bikes from GT and Kinesis, plus first ride reviews of VanMoof’s S3 urban ebike and the latest iteration of the legendary Genesis Tour de Fer.

As for features, we put FTP under the microscope and investigate whether we can learn to use the popular training metric any better.
We also shake a bucket with top cycling fundraisers and learn how they maximise funds, and head to Sweden for three days of penny-farthing racing.
Big Ride: Cornwall

In the Big Ride spot, Nick Busca explores the ferocious hills close to his new home in Bude, Cornwall.
In our Training Zone section, we look at how your sense of smell might unlock endurance gains, the best big ride breakfast recipes and how Christina MacKenzie broke the Land’s End to John o’Groats record. We also profile the Mallorca 312 gran fondo.
This issue’s Masterclass, meanwhile, unlocks the secrets of aerodynamics, revealing the changes you can make to go faster.
