Mountain Biking is FUN! It’s also hard to learn to ride well and it’s easy to learn bad habits. Bad habits that could easily ruin your weekend or even your entire summer!
So what do you do when you want to learn to ride a mountain bike or improve your mountain bike skills? It seems too scary/dangerous/difficult right? Well, as with any other sport, the best advice is to turn to a Professional Coach.
I am very experienced with coaching all levels of mountain bikers & helping them to progress their mountain bike skills in a safe & repeatable way. I am an ICP Level 3 Certified Mountain Bike Coach (the highest offered) and I am Wilderness First Responder Certified.
I know that your time and resources can be limited so I offer great value Group Mountain Bike Coaching Sessions so you can improve your riding quickly. Our group sessions are private, meant just for you and people you know. They’re not public workshops that anyone can join.
I offer discount for repeat custom.

I had so much fun in my first lesson with Ronnie! His teaching style is very laidback while still being well organized. He took time through the lesson to check in with me about how I was doing and what I wanted to work on. I’m looking forward to taking more lessons with him.
Ronnie is a fantastic teacher and did a great job of providing instruction to both of us, even though we are at very different skill levels. He made sure he understood what riding/skills we wanted to focus on and gave us great foundational skills to work on.By the end of our session I realized that I could have been riding better for the past 35 years! Better late than never!
We both ride EMTB's and Ronnie was able to explain how to get the most positive results from our bikes by using different power setting and using the bike in ways we had not previously thought of. We both learned a lot during our lesson and even more when we are now practicing the drills he taught us. We will definitely be scheduling further lessons.
