Mark Alker

Singletrack Owner/Publisher

What Mark doesn’t know about social media isn’t worth knowing and his ability to balance “The Stack” is bested only by his agility on a snowboard. 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).

    Hmmmm last night after riding Pleny black all day we stopped for a few beers, which turned to lots

    Pushing my bike along the river as I couldn’t ride, ended up stacking it and smashing my FF helmet into pieces and have probably broken a bone in my hand.

    have done similar, went for an intended couple of pints after work. which turned into workmates holding my nose and pouring shots down my throat.
    ended up back at work to collect my bike at 2am. Guys in the office were so worried they phoned my wife to come and meet me.

    apparently they had begged me to leave the bike there and they’d get me a lift home, but I wasn’t having it.
    my wife said she could see my lights weaving all over the path, she thought i was trying to ride it, but i was using it to hold me ‘upright’

    i was lucky, no injuries.

    cannae actually remember any of it, everything I know Ive been told.
