Private Lessons
-
A Private Lesson is the best way to make improvements to your riding. Each session will be tailored to your individual goals, and give you comprehensive feedback, and a detailed plan on how to continue to improve afterwards.
MTB, Road or Gravel lessons available. Email or WhatsApp to find out more.
With a background in downhill and cross-country racing, and more than twenty years of coaching experience, I can help you ride with more confidence, control and efficiency. Whether you want to improve your cornering, braking, descending or simply get more from your bike, every session is tailored to you and your riding.
Half-day sessions from £200.
MTB
-
Take the bike handling of mountain biking and the reactions of motorcycling, and apply them to the road. The result is more control, better lines and the ability to ride faster without trying harder. I’ve worked with riders from top-level WorldTour teams, delivering measurable improvements in performance, confidence and descending.
Available in Central Scotland from £200, or Girona from £250
Road
-
Gravel demands a combination of skills that road riding alone doesn’t always develop. Learn the handling and reactions of MTB, combined with the positioning, awareness and fatigue management needed for fast bunch riding. Gravel racing rewards the physically prepared, but technical weaknesses can quickly become a liability.

Grace Inglis, Elite Women's XCM and XCO British National Champion
“My sessions with Andy gave me the right techniques to focus on in training, so that they became more automatic under pressure in races. As a result my riding is smoother, more efficient, and I can recover better on descents, meaning that I can push harder where it really counts.”

You can really feel Andy’s enthusiasm for his job and know that he wants the very best for you, which clearly translates into successful lessons (and faster Strava times!). His background as a mountain bike coach transfers to the road sessions very well. We used a GoPro to record me from in front, behind and from the side. He also wrote up an in-depth analysis for me so that I'm able to review the feedback whenever I like. I still use it regularly to work on the drills in training.

"I worked with Andy for two years when I first started mountain biking. His experience and analytical approach accelerated my learning and saved me years of trial and error. He gave me the tools to understand technique, tactics and performance in a way that I still use today. Even now, I rely on the same self-reflective process to analyse my racing and keep improving."

Andy’s preparation with me before the Giro was crucial in keeping me calm and composed on the key descents. I came into the race with a focused plan, which gave me more control of my own performance in high pressure moments, ultimately helping me fulfil my role in the team better in our mission to win the Maglia Rosa.

“Andy is without question the coach to go to for real technical improvement. His experience and attention to detail are second to none, and his ability to deconstruct a problem and build it back up unlocks free speed. He's supported the GB Cycling Team across both gravity and XC disciplines, helping even the best in the world perform when it matters most.”
