Andrew Parks, Peaty and Will Longden, in about 1886 (actually about 1996 we’ve been told).

From archive footage of luminous Lycra clad XC racing in the mid 80’s, to the development of the Enduro racing scene today, this documentary will feature input and history from such luminaries as Rob Warner, Tracy Moseley, Carlton Reid, Martyn Ashton among many more witnesses to the development of our sport and pastime.

Graphs are what gets his engine revving, at least they would if his car wasn’t electric, and data is what you’ll find him poring over in the office. Mark enjoys good whisky, sci-fi and the latest Apple gadget, he is also the best boss in the world (Yes, he is paying me to write this).
