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.
