Mountain Bike Coaching at Thetford Forest, Norfolk

Coaching for All Levels at Thetford Forest
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.
Improve Your Riding, One Session at a Time
Every session is unique, designed to help you make clear progress.
Personal Coaching That Fits Your Riding
Mountain Bike Coaching Sessions
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 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.
Beginner Coaching
For people who are just starting out. We’ll cover:
- Setting your bike up for comfort and control
- Braking, balance, and gear use
- Body position on different trail surfaces
- Riding easy trails with confidence
Intermediate Coaching
For riders who are comfortable on a bike but want to improve. Some example focus areas are:
- Cornering technique
- Maintaining speed through uneven ground
- Climbing and descending with better control
- Line choice and trail awareness
Advanced Coaching
For riders with experience who want to fine-tune their technique and ride more efficiently. Sessions might include:
- Improving flow and energy management
- Reading trail features and adjusting technique

- Tackling longer rides with more consistency and control
Supportive, Focused Coaching
Is Mountain Bike Coaching for me?
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’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.
