Coaching for All Levels at Thetford Forest

I offer mountain bike coaching sessions at Thetford Forest in Norfolk. Whether you’re new to riding off-road or want to develop specific skills, coaching is tailored to how you ride and what you want to improve.

Sessions are suitable for all levels and focus on practical progress through clear, honest feedback.

Mountain biking doesn’t have to mean riding down steep terrain. It can be as simple as getting out into the countryside on off-road tracks and trails. Local routes like Peddars Way are great examples – long, mostly unpaved, and ideal for this type of riding.

Mountain bike coaching can improve every ride – whether you’re on a mountain trail or just out enjoying the outdoors on your bike.

I work with riders of all levels through 1 to 1 coaching and small group bookings at Thetford High Lodge.

All sessions are tailored to you – your current ability, the type of riding you do, and what you want to get better at.

There’s no set course or large group format. Every session is built around your goals – learning the basics, improving control, or working through specific things you’re finding difficult, so you can ride with more confidence and consistency.

Is Mountain Bike Coaching for me?

If you want to improve your riding with clear, structured support, then yes – mountain bike coaching could be a good fit. These sessions are for anyone who wants to ride with more confidence, control and consistency.

You might be completely new to mountain biking, returning after time off, or already riding and keen to work on specific skills. Coaching is useful at any stage – there’s always something to refine, adjust, or understand better.

It doesn’t matter if you ride trail centres, bridleways, or local loops from your doorstep – the fundamentals apply everywhere, good coaching makes a difference to every ride.

Coaching takes place at Thetford Forest, with easy access from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire. It’s a great place for learning, with wide, open spaces and gentle gradients that work well for skill drills. The trails are progressive and fairly timid, with everything rollable – ideal for building confidence without feeling out of your depth.

You don’t need to be fast or fit – just ready to learn.

About Me

I’m an experienced rider and coach, and I work with riders of all levels. Whether you’ve been riding for years or are completely new to mountain biking, I’ll help you identify what’s holding you back and guide you through how to improve it — one step at a time, and always at your pace.

I’ve been riding for years and spend most of my free time on the bike – learning, exploring, and just enjoying being out on the trails. I love mountain biking, and I really enjoy helping people feel more confident and capable when they ride.

I bring a calm, encouraging approach to every session and love seeing people progress — whether that’s mastering the basics or refining more advanced technique. For me, it’s not just about riding better, it’s about enjoying the ride more.

Testimonials

I first booked a mountain bike coaching session with Luis because I wanted to feel more confident on my bike, and it was one of the best decisions I could have made.

The coaching session was relaxed, supportive, and completely pressure-free. Luis gave me practical, easy-to-understand advice that made an immediate difference to how I felt on the bike, and his detailed follow-up feedback gave me plenty of clear things to keep working on afterwards.

I then had a separate bike fit session with Luis, which has made a huge difference. He took the time to listen to the issues and niggles I was having, took measurements, and adjusted the bike properly to suit me. He changed the set-up so I had a shorter reach, more comfortable bars, better wrist support, the correct saddle position, and a dropper post that I can now use easily without having to fiddle around trying to find the right height.

After the initial set-up, we went for a ride so Luis could see how everything felt while I was actually on the bike and make final adjustments as needed. The whole process felt really thorough, practical, and tailored to me.

Whether you’re completely new to mountain biking or have years of experience, I’d highly recommend booking a session with Luis. My bike now fits me, rather than me trying to fit it, and I’m enjoying my riding so much more.

Highly recommended!
