Develop your mountain biking skills with a personalised 2-hour coaching session tailored to your preferences and bike type. Choose between traditional mountain bike training or electric mountain bike (eMTB) coaching, both led by a British Cycling qualified coach with over 20 years’ experience. These sessions focus on improving riding technique, handling, and confidence on trails and single track in a friendly, supportive environment.
For the 1:1 mountain bike session, you’ll start with a skills assessment to identify your current level and areas for development. The coach will provide clear guidance on core mountain biking techniques such as climbing, descending, cornering, and off-camber riding. The session includes practical drills to improve bike handling, riding position, and confidence on varied terrain including single track and trails. You’ll also learn remounts, dismounts, and race tactics tailored to your goals.
The eMTB session is designed for riders new to electric mountain bikes or those looking to improve control on technical terrain like rooty sections and sharp drops. The coach will review your strengths and offer advice on efficient riding, bike handling, and finding good local routes. The focus is on making the most of the eMTB’s power while developing smooth technique and confidence on trails. Both sessions are flexible and friendly, with time for questions and personalised feedback.
Sessions take place within a 30-mile radius of London, with meeting points arranged to suit both you and the coach, who is based in Brixton, South West London. Locations typically include local parks, woodlands, and trail areas where a variety of terrain can be accessed. The coach will select routes that suit your skill level and chosen bike type, ensuring a productive and enjoyable training environment.
This flexible approach means you can experience a wide range of riding conditions from gentle trails to more challenging single track sections, adapting to weather and rider ability on the day. Meeting points are usually cafés or easily accessible locations nearby, making it simple to join the session and start your coaching.
You should bring either a mountain bike or electric mountain bike in good working order, equipped with properly functioning brakes and gears. Helmets are compulsory for safety reasons, alongside a spare inner tube, snacks, water, and appropriate clothing for the weather, including rain protection if necessary. Sunscreen is advisable when riding in sunny conditions.
The sessions suit riders at all levels but are most beneficial for those looking to build confidence or refine skills progressively. If you are unsure about your bike’s suitability or have questions regarding the session, it’s recommended to discuss this with the coach before booking to ensure the best experience.
The coaching is delivered by a British Cycling qualified coach with over two decades of riding and coaching experience. His roles include leading off-road coaching at a prestigious velodrome and managing a large cycling club, demonstrating a strong commitment to rider development across all abilities. This expertise ensures sessions are well structured, safe, and focused on practical improvement.
With a background in both traditional mountain biking and cyclocross, the coach offers knowledgeable and approachable instruction. Sessions are tailored individually, combining professional skill coaching with a relaxed atmosphere that encourages progression without pressure. Riders benefit from clear feedback and personalised support that helps them get the most from their time on the trails.
