Private coaching
Become your best cyclist!
Feeling a little lost in the world of cycling? Wondering whether you need a bike-fit, a training plan or better cycling shorts to solve all your problems? Do you feel inadequate or abnormal because you’re terrified of riding in a group? Or taking a bend because of a bit of gravel on the road?
When we think about improving ourselves on the bike, we often focus solely on training our muscles and eating well, forgetting that cycling is as much a tactical sport as it is a physical one. A highly skilled rider on a well-functioning bike can outperform another rider in better physical shape.
Working together, I’ll help you identify the physical, mental and mechanical (bike and equipment) factors that will improve your experience on the bike. I will help you forget your bad habits, develop good basic skills and accelerate your progress towards becoming a master cyclist. I won’t make you stronger, but I will make you smarter!
