Welcome to the new and improved cycling-coach.co.uk!

My goal as a coach is the pursuit of excellence. It is my desire to help every rider I work with reach their full athletic potential. This is achieved through the perfect balance of training and recovery and most importantly excellent communication and understanding that each and every client is unique. We will use the most up to date, scientifically sound training methods mixed with a healthy dose of common sense and the human touch. Not all of us can dedicate our lives to cycling or win the tour de France but we can all make the very best of what time we do have around work and family to be the best we can be.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit".
Aristotle

 This is Derek Parkinson (on the left) with me at time trialling's champions night in January 2012. Derek was there to collect his Bronze medal for 3rd place in the BBAR competition and silver medal for his 2nd place in the national 12 hour TT where he covered an amazing distance of 299 miles! Derek has been with me since right at the start of things in 2006 and each year through a combination of smart training, passion and self belief he has progressed. He has achieved amazing things despite the demands of a hard job and a young family. Its people like Derek that I am committed to helping, because I believe that no matter what talent you inherited if you work hard, you are patient and you keep your ego in check you can achieve things you never thought possible.
