Gravel biking is truly exhilarating! Yet, mastering it comes with its fair share of challenges. It’s easy to pick up a few bad habits along the way—habits that could dampen your enjoyment or even lead to injuries.
Thinking about hitting the trails or looking to sharpen your skills? It might seem a bit daunting, but the best way forward is personalized coaching. Getting advice from a professional coach is the safest and most effective method to boost your abilities.

Your time is precious, and I aim to provide coaching that not only targets your needs but also fits seamlessly into your busy schedule. Let’s make your gravel biking adventure as rewarding as it can be!

I took my first ever MTB lesson yesterday with Ronnie. Ronnie was patient and also broke down the basic skills and had me rock rolling by the 2nd hour. I had such a blast with him I just booked monthly lessons for the rest of the summer. Highly recommend. He's worked with all ages and genders.
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.
