MTB skills and cycling coaching in Sheffield, Yorkshire and the Peak District

Hi, I’m Michael. Thanks for stopping by. I deliver mountain bike skills coaching including enduro, XC and downhill. I also coach leisure and competitive cyclists for fitness and performance. Delivering bespoke training plans and strength training sessions to improve cycling fitness.

I work with adult and younger riders of all ages and experience, in group sessions and private coaching. I’m based in Sheffield, Yorkshire and the Peak District, but coach throughout the UK.

I’ve been racing since 2008 and set up Rideabout as a coach in 2012. This year (2024) I've been racing Enduro & Downhill competing in national series events.

I’m really passionate about inspiring the next generation and I'm proud to work with British Cycling and their XC mountain bike racing talent programme.
