Great instructions from Michael tailored to what we needed




Experience personalised mountain bike coaching designed to elevate your skills and confidence on the trails. With expert guidance from Michael, a seasoned cycling coach since 2012, you'll benefit from tailored sessions that cater to your individual needs and goals.
During your session, Michael will conduct an initial assessment of your current skills and goals. Following this, the coaching will focus on improving specific areas such as cornering, braking, jumping, and technical climbs and descents. Each session is designed to be flexible, adapting to your progression and feedback. You'll benefit from Michael's extensive racing experience across multiple disciplines, ensuring that the techniques taught are both practical and effective. The hands-on coaching will include practical demonstrations, followed by guided practice where Michael provides real-time feedback and adjustments. After the session, you'll receive a one-month period of video feedback. You can send in your riding videos, and Michael will provide virtual feedback to help you continue improving the skills and techniques covered in your face-to-face session.
Coaching sessions are held on established trails around Sheffield and the Peak District. Popular locations include Grenoside Woods, Wharncliffe Woods, Parkwood Springs, Lady Cannings, and Farmer John’s Bike Park. Additionally, local pump tracks such as Charnock, Eyam, and Hillsborough are utilised for specific training needs.
