Mark Stover is a reformed competitive road cyclist who fell head over heels (too often literally given his list of injuries over the past 3 years) for the exhilarating, oft grueling, punishing, euphoric, self prescribed torturous world of endurance mountain bike racing.

Mark has often quit bicycle racing altogether several times in the course of a single ultra mountain bike race, while his glycogen depleted and addled gray matter has often made him question his common sense and sanity.  Though he still rides a skinny tired road race machine on occasion, there is absolutely no proof he likes it.
