Very sad to hear that.
He was here a long time before I was and I was certain he'd be here a long time after me. Condolences to his family, his friends and to everyone he inspired on here.

A great and brave man.
Sending love to his wonderful family, who I have had the privilege of hearing about for the last 10 years.
I remember reading the very first post he made on the subject and being impressed by his sheer bloody mindedness. The stuff of world champions, which indeed he is.

Beyond Gutted. He left a big impression on me and helped me in some dark times.

A truly inspirational guy. Thoughts are with Meg and the girls and indeed all his many friends and family.

Words are just never enough in these situations.

I knew it was close but really thought that some sort of lightning bolt would come and save him. He was that sort of a man. Inspiring chap, beautiful in so many ways. Condolences to the family. So very, very dusty today.

Shit. Never met Mark but he was truly inspirational. When my teenage daughter was having some problems with her mental health he emailed me with some invaluable advice which we will always be grateful for.

RIP bullheart.

I never met him, nor can I say I knew him on here - but his story was inspirational.

RIP Bully, in the face of adversity you never backed down or gave an inch. You never seemed to be cowed or dismayed. A quite literall tower of strength. I hope should I ever be faced with such a similar situation I can do it with equal grace & good humour.

I never met the guy or indeed ever spoke to him on here. But I did follow the news, even talking to my non-cycling wife about what an amazing man this "bloke of this cycling forum" seems to be.

I'm not afraid to say I've shed more than a tear at this news today.

Ride on buddy, you will probably never know how many people you've inspired.

And hugs and condolences to your family.

Shit. I’ve been fearing the worst since his post a few weeks ago. Cannot even begin to fathom how hard he fought for all those years. A true legend of this parish.

Thoughts and condolences to his family and friends.

Surely we, the STW collective, can contribute something in his memory (or rather, to celebrate the fact he was one truly hard bastard) ...

Ah bollocks. Just saw the thread and had to go out for a cry.
People always say thoughts to the families, but that's straight where mine went.
Then bumped into a colleague outside and he said "What's up?" and I described what an amazing bloke Mark had been.* Only met him a couple of times, but the Bullheart Mountain Mayhem was one of the best weekends of my life.
I shall post a couple of pics if I can find them.
What a shit day.

*then I realised the bloke I'd been talking to - his wife is going through chemo for breast cancer at the moment. **** CANCER.

I met him once. He drove from Kent to Manchester on a freezing February morning for a bike race the day after Chemo, did the race, chatted to everyone then drove back. Absolutely nuts.

I remember filling up the day, many years ago, when he was told that he was “all clear”. I’m at it again now, but for the opposite reason.

My thoughts are with your family fella. Ride on Big Man.

I will be wearing my Bullheart t-Shirt to the pub tonight and raising a glass.

Oh no! I just can't get my head around this terrible news. I remember reading Mark's first post about his illness all those years ago & following his battle with ****ing cancer. If anyone could have pulled through I believed that it would have been Mark, his positive outlook, despite going through what he was going through, was inspiring.

R.I.P.
