How to Contribute to the Mid-Atlantic Ride Journal

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Mid-Atlantic Ride Journal.

We’re always looking for rider writers, photographers, and illustrators who have a story to share; be it an epic adventure on one of our regional trails, a personal journey of self-discovery, or simply have an interesting story to tell.

We hope the stories you share on a bike or about a bike help motivate and inspire others to hit the trail, path, or road to discover the same joy and love of cycling we have in common.

If you want to contribute, but are unsure what to write about, here are a few suggestions:

• Why do you ride? Why do you keep riding?

• Is there a personal moment that defines why you ride?

• What is special about your favorite regional cycling destination? Share details about your destination of choice.

• What do you ride? What is special about your chosen cycling discipline?

• Is there a yearly pilgrimage you make to a destination beyond our region? What’s special about it?

• Is there a regional event that you look forward to? Why?

This journal is a labor of love, and not meant to be a money making endeavor, for that reason we are not offering any compensation for your submission, nor do we retain ownership of your work. You are just letting us borrow it so that we can compile it with other meaningful and inspirational stories. We recommend that if you will write something, that you stick to around 500 - 800 words. Not sure how long that is? Take a look at this sample: Riding Loudoun County’s Historic Gravel Roads.

We also can’t guarantee that your submission will make it to a later issue. We do guarantee, however, that we will read it and get back to you.

If you are good with the above, the first step is to reach out to us using the form below, we’ll go from there.
