Mark is best known in the Time Trialling community as 'PNuT' a nickname he has had since he was very young. He is tall and wiry, with thin muscles but is regularly seen racing fixed with 52*12 gearing, and training with similar gearing for 400miles per week, even through the winter.
After starting cycling in 2002, Mark had a very impressive first couple of years with PB's of:

24.272 BBAR average speed
..along with winning the Haverhill Hilly Time Trial; Eastern counties hill climb; the Sudbury Hill climb and a very impressive 7th in the National Hill Climb. He then had a couple of quiet years before making an impressive rejuvenation in 2009. His highlights of the last 3 seasons are as follows:
