Chris Eyles (verified owner) – May 27, 2022

Absolutely top notch course, would highly recommend, especially if you’ve never done a coaching day before – I wish I’d done this years ago!

Instructor Alex explained things in a very clear and relevant way, starting from the real fundamentals and showing how these could be applied on progressively more challenging terrain. The increased control and confidence I gained throughout the day was much more than I’d expected, especially on some of the steeper sections of trail.

The pacing / level of the course was well judged based on my riding ability, stretching me in places and allowing me to focus on the basics in others.

I’d previously felt like I’d hit a bit of a plateau, but I’ve now got absolutely tons of stuff to work on in my riding which will probably keep me busy for a good year or so… then I don’t doubt I’ll be back for another session!

Will Serle – December 4, 2023

I wanted to get some tips on how to progress my riding. This coaching session was brilliant. We had a small group but the coach tailored the sessions to what individuals wanted from the day.

Our coach, Windy, was exceptional, he made us all feel really welcome and at ease and honed in on individual areas for development for each member of the group, using video analysis to support our learning.

Easiest 5 star rating ever, I highly recommend coaching with Wye MTB. A days coaching has made we want to continue to improve and get out on my bike more than ever, I’ll definitely be back for some more sessions to keep progressing.

Massive thanks to Wye MTB and Windy.
