Mark Merrill

Domestic God and Big Ringer from Columbia, South Carolina, Mark is a stay at home Dad which he believes is harder than it sounds. (that’s Big Ring)
Mark has two aged Jack Russell Terriers, Bella (11) and Robin Hood (17). He was inspired by Alexi Grewal winning the ‘84 Olympic RR (on a Pinarello…if you’re Big Ring, you know this fact!) and began riding at the age of 14 (steel Trek).
Although proud to be a card carrying member of the Big Ring, Mark considers his biggest accomplishment being a good father to two boys and husband to a lovely and understanding wife.

Mark likes music from Zac Brown to Jay-Z and is known to have an irrational fear of solo nightrides in the woods! “The dark ain’t nothin’ to play with and sometimes, 1200 lumens just is NOT enough!”
