Some interesting replies.
The offer of £150 for a story is an amount I have been given to offer, not what I would view as enough to cover anyones expenses but that wasn't the point. If you think you're story is worth more than that, and it probably is, then good for you and best of luck trying to get it published.
One thing I don't understand is everyones assumption that we (bike journo's) don't travel as well as anyone else. Before I worked at TWO I was in the army for ten years. Travel and adventure is something that appealed to me, as was writing, so I took a gamble and pushed to get into the industry. Now that I'm in it I find that I have to suffer the wrath of people that assume, because I'm fortunate enough (through luck and hard work) to wear fancy kit and ride shiny bikes that I'm incapable of having a 'real adventure', what a crock of shit. If you don't like the idea of being published because the offer of money isn't high enough, fine, thanks for taking a look. But don't assume all mags and all journo's are the same, I posted on here thinking I would get some educated responses and because I thought this could be a good chance to get some great stories in TWO. Thanks to those that have responded already.
