Coaching sessions take place in the North Lake Tahoe or Reno area. Out of state/area can be arranged for additional travel fees.
I can cater for all levels from new rider to experienced racers looking to improve their race times. Coaching sessions are personalized and are dependent on your riding experience.
Coaching session lengths vary. Our sessions range from two hours to six hours depending on rider choice.
I will be riding alongside or behind you providing instruction. We will also stop, talk & evaluate trail sections.
Bring water, snacks, a spare tube and anything else you would usually take on a ride. I carry a small tool kit but it helps if you have your own. If you need any emergency medication; asthma inhaler, epi-pen etc please carry these with you!
Yes. Â I can coach you on your eMTB. E-Bikes are more aggressive and weigh more, so timing and response needs to be quick and precise when riding them. Â I can help you with those skills. Â Please note that due to trail restrictions, certain trails may be off limits when riding your eMTB.
An Important Note About Safety
Mountain Biking is a fun & exhilarating sport, but there are risks and dangers associated with participation in Mountain Biking events and activities which could result in bodily injury, disability, paralysis and death.
If you want to ride with me HELMETS ARE REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES. A half shell is the minimum requirement but I strongly recommend a full-face helmet. Full finger gloves & knee pads are also required.
Participants are responsible for the maintenance and care of their bike prior to & during our ride. I can help you set up your bike for optimal riding and help with suspension settings. Please note that this will count towards your session time.
All members of your riding group must sign the Waiver prior to riding.
