The BikeBiz Awards are fast approaching and if you’re a keen reader of the site, you’ll recognize one of the nominees. It’s only our Rach!

• The best gravel and adventure bikes you can buy for under £1,000
• Top tips for mountain biking downhill in the mud – how to ride in muddy conditions
• Five ways to tell your shock needs a service

If you work in the trade, or you’re just an incredibly savvy rider, you’ll know about the BikeBiz Awards. The guys behind the event ensure recognition to those who keep the cogs of the bike industry turning.

Also, I’m sure that those with their ears close to the ground will know that our very own Rachel Wight is now the brand new Editor of off.road.cc which in itself is a fantastic achievement and we’re all happy to have her at the helm but the good news keeps rolling on in.

Completely unconnected to her recent promotion some of her mates have nominated her for the BikeBiz ‘Woman of the Year’ award which we wholeheartedly endorse and she’s only gotten shortlisted!

If you know Rach, maybe she has even coached you or your kids at the Forest of Dean and you fancy giving her your vote follow this link to show her your support but be quick, voting closes next week.

There’s nothing like having the Spotlight on you at the moment, hey Rach?

Best of Luck
