  • Mark Hucker Mark Hucker I am am an avid cyclist who rides for fun, I do lots of 30 - 50 mile road rides, lots of off road mountain biking from Xc easy routes to double black free ride, my favourite is all mountain trail centres which is a fix of both.

    My bikes get more attention than my car and that gets a lot of attention, my hobbies all revolve around my love of fitness, sport and engineering.
