The UK MTB Hall Of Fame was set up in 2012 by the organisers of Mountain Mayhem to recognise the people who have pushed mountain biking forward as a sport, from the professionals who get the results to the behind the scene players from the industry.
This year Steve Worland was the only inductee and his posthumous award was collected by Steve’s partner Jo Young at Mountain Mayhem.
Flanked by MTB Hall of Fame founders Pat and Jill, Jo Young collects Steve’s award.
Last year’s inductees were Adrian Carter, Daffyd Davis, John Dight, Martyn Ashton, Michael Bonney, Oli Beckinsale, Rob Lee, Scott Beaumont, Steve Behr, & Steve Toze.
Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.

About time too.
How on earth John Dight (bless him) got in ahead of Steve, well… I’ve had a drink and I’m walking away from the computer now, but come on…
Bout time. A great loss to the sport and to good journalism
I think Steve deserved this.
Brant, I’m unsure of the merits of your statement but I temporarily admire you. It probably won’t last long tho!
Last year’s inductees went to a public vote after a round of nominations.
Some candidates campaigned well
Good.
That seems a classy way to recognise Steve, sole inductee for this year. Greatly enjoyed his work rip
