Ken Faught, the founder of MX and Off-Road Tours, has been involved in motorsports his whole life. After racing motocross as a teen he started working at Cycle News at 16 years old and he never looked back. He went on from there to become the youngest ever Editor of Dirt Rider Magazine, at the time the largest dirt bike magazine in the
world. He then handled PR for a guy named Ricky Carmichael fora couple of years before founding a wildly successful chain of 16 indoor go kart tracks across the country. After selling that business Ken has come back to the passion of his youth by creating successful dual sport tours and ultimately through the creation of MX and Off-Road Tours.
Mark Mitchell comes to the team after a long career in the motorsports media world. Starting at Cycle News where he met Ken Faught over 35 years ago he then moved to the tv side of the business with a short stint at MotoWorld before moving on to a 15 year career as an Executive Director at SPEED Channel and another five years as Vice
President of MAVTV. Mark is a lifelong motorcyclist and a diehard Adventure bike rider.
