A seasoned racer, Ed has travelled the world racing and riding bikes on all terrain.

Rik discovered Mountain Biking as a teenager and spent hours watching videos of the sport before building his first bike up from scratch at the age of 22, and he’s been inseparable from anything with two wheels since. He combined this passion for riding with his Athletics Coaching background whilst working as an Outdoor Instructor in Yorkshire, delivering GCSE Mountain Biking and Road Cycling courses. From this, Rik gained both his British Cycling Level 2 MTB Coach and Guide awards before moving to Wales to focus on his personal riding. His real strength is ‘performance analysis’, helping clients identify areas to work on to improve their confidence and ability.
