Coach Bio

As both a coach and athlete, I specialise in ultra-distance and adventure cycling, individual performance and target-focused training plans.

I offer a human, personalised approach, and use the bicycle to create a connection, adventure and a healthy lifestyle. I work with cyclists who compete and those who don’t—whether they have personal goals or want to use cycling to build and maintain long-term wellbeing.

Hi,
I have a genuine passion for cycling and a long history of adapting my fitness across multiple disciplines. In addition to RIDEANDRACE, I’m a freelance associate coach at Bike2Max Studio in Cape Town, South Africa.

Where It Started
I scratched from my first attempt at The Munga after getting lost in the Karoo, unprepared for ultra racing. In 2016, I returned, held 3rd before missing a turn that dropped me to 7th. It wasn’t the result I wanted, but I learned how much progress is possible when mindset, preparation, and purpose align. A few weeks later, I launched RIDEANDRACE to help others discover that same potential—on the bike and beyond.

What I Aim To Achieve
To positively impact your mindset, physical development, and lifestyle.

I Work Best With People Who
Prioritise health and performance.
Are willing to adapt their habits to meet realistic goals.
Value open communication and long-term growth.

My Approach
Understand your individuality, consider your unique circumstances, and plan with detail or flexibility as needed.

Race Experience
Solo Ultra-Distance: The Munga, BikingMan Oman, Rad am Ring 24hr.
Stage Racing: Cape Epic, Cape Pioneer Trek, Giro del Capo.
National Elite: Road, Time Trial, XC, XCM.

Certification
UCI Level One

Fit Far Fast Finish
All accomplishments start with the decision to try. Let’s get started. The easiest way to reach me is through the contact form below. I might be out on the bike but I’ll respond as soon as the helmet and gloves come off.
