Cycling Coaching
One of Cycling’s great appeals is that, to a large degree, your body
weight is absorbed by the bike. As a cardio vascular and leg strength
exercise session, cycling has very few rivals. In addition, much of your
training is outdoors and often in beautiful environments, so what more
could you ask?
So, if you’re thinking of doing your 1st fun/recreational ride, or working
towards a major challenge like 3 Peaks, Brian can help you achieve
your goals.

always encouraging people to extend themselves and be
the best that they can be. Combining his passion for
