Jenn Hill

October 16, 2015

It’s with tremendous sadness that we have to announce that our Deputy Editor, Jenn Hill died yesterday after her long battle with lung cancer, at St Gemma’s Hospice, Leeds. She was 37.

Although expected after her decision to step down as Deputy Editor just over a month ago the news is still shocking to all of us at Singletrack and Grit.cx. All our thoughts are now with her husband Tom and all her family and friends.

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

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.

  3. Jenn was fab.
    I only met her a few times – always on bikes or in bike shops – and I haven’t seen her for a long time, but she was one of those people who leaves an impression.
    It’s hard to think of anyone who loves riding bikes more than Jenn did.

  4. Such sad news. My thoughts go out to all her family, her friends, and to all those at STW.

    A terrible loss, one who will never be forgotten…

    Ride in peace xxx
