We booked a group lesson with Ronnie because we were looking to experience some Tahoe trails as a family and see if we could all ride a bit better....especially me & my wife! Ronnie was super patient with all of us and walked us through some basics before we hit the trails. We never felt out of our depth on anything we were riding and our children had a wonderful day showing us just how much we have to learn. The fact that it was just our family made the day feel much more exclusive and personal. If you are in Lake Tahoe and are looking to go mountain biking you should definitely consider adding Ronnie to your list of potential teachers.
My son and I recently had a private lesson with Ronnie over the weekend. Ronnie is an excellent MTB coach! Not only is Ronnie extremely knowledgeable, but he was able to connect with my son using examples he could relate to. I thought this was really unique. You get the sense right away that Ronnie is really passionate about teaching you the right fundamentals so your progression is safe and well founded. We did a 3 hour session with Ronnie and he kept the session engaging with great energy along with some really cheesy jokes that kept a smile on our faces. We can’t recommend Ronnie enough, he is a top notch MTB coach!
My son and I (10 year old) signed up for a Family MTB lesson last minute and Ronnie was able to squeeze us in. We were blown away with the attentiveness and three hour plan he had prepared for us. It's clear he had worked with kids of all ages given his regular assessment of energy levels, water breaks and check-ins. We especially appreciated the 1:1 time, given the diluted focus of many of the riding camps out there. We will certainly be calling on Ronnie again when we return to the area.
