“We’ve been on other coaching days before and not taken much away from them, but with Tom, we both left as much better riders.
Tom’s approach is great, he listens to what you want to improve on, what you want to take away from the day etc. He pays a lot of attention to how you ride, walks you through how to improve and then you put it into practice on a trail”
Sarah Pickering, Derbyshire
“Thanks Tom for a great coaching/FUN (!) session in the Gwydir forest, will be practicing our new skills and will show off when we next see you for that ride!! Really good company, felt like we were riding with a best mate!!”
Annie Craggs, Mid Wales
“My husband and I had two days of coaching/riding with Tom. He understood what we wanted from the sessions and continually worked at helping us achieve our goals. Poured with rain the second day but it was still fun and makes me want to go back for more! Thanks Tom”
Alice Munsey, Oxford
“You are both excellent guides and your coaching tips took our riding skills to a different level!! I feel so much more confident having spent such quality time riding with you both”.
Diane Moore, Cirencester
“We arranged with Tom and Steph for Iolo, our son, to have a full day’s mountain biking coaching session as a Christmas present. He was really nervous beforehand and worried about his skill levels etc So when i dropped him off he was quite quiet.
So…. he had a fantastic day with Tom and Steph and didn’t stop talking about it for days afterwards.
He was amazed how his skills and confidence on the trails had improved so quickly with the coaching he received. He was doing stuff he never thought he would at the end of the day.
Tom and Steph were great and he’s now really enthused to hit the trails!
The only drawback…… he now obviously wants a new bike :-”)
Thanks both”
Neil Garton Jones, Llanrug
“Fantastic day, fantastic instructor. would recommend to anyone who wants to improve their skills. Tom and Steph are very patient taking us through the steps needed and explaining the reasons why.
Thank you Tom and Steph for a very informative day”
