ROUVY AUTHORS

Mark Nessmith

ROUVY Writer

Mark Nessmith is a native of south Florida who’s spent most of the past three decades living in Europe. During his career in writing and editing, his beats have included golf, baseball, football and basketball. On two wheels, his preferred terrain is the seemingly endless network of cycling trails throughout the forests of the Czech Republic. Mark and his wife have three brilliant kids and one rather odd terrier named Stella.

Alex Filippov

ROUVY Writer

A proud member of a more laidback breed of riders who ride to live and don't rush things. He regularly rides without a smartwatch or computer to remind himself of what riding is really about. When it's dreary, he puts on his muddy trail running shoes and hits the Carpathian trails.

Lauren Wolff

ROUVY Writer

Lauren is an ex-South African now happily living in Belgium. Her background for over thirty years has been in her own business in the creative and writing sphere. Lauren now writes passionately for ROUVY with her popular route reviews and engaging website content. Lauren is an avid and competitive road cyclist and mountain biker who, a few years ago, achieved several podium positions for her age category for National Championships and UCI World Masters Champs for road and, before that, in triathlon in the early 90s. Lauren has been using the ROUVY app year-round since 2016.

Danny Holman

ROUVY Writer

As a self-exiled Englishman, Danny has been happily living in Prague for over 20 years. He's been working with words and stories most of his career for several top companies and start-ups - initially in film development and now as a copywriter and content writer.
