Andrew Randell, Sans Chaine's head coach, has been coaching for 25 years. His thoughts and approach to cycling can be summed up in a few words: consistency, longevity, fun, performance and stress relief. He now refers to cycling as his mental medicine. Training in the real world is not the neat progression we hear and read about. Managing our training in conjunction with the realities of our life is the reality.

Every ride should be amazing. Your training should be a journey and a pleasure. We should love cycling for the fun, challenges, camaraderie and the stress relief that it brings. If this sounds like what you would like your cycling to be then Sans Chaine can help you with your training.

Andrew started coaching while still racing as a professional. At first he worked with young riders looking to improve. Over time his client base expanded to include women and men, racers, CEOs and local heroes, and those just wanting to enjoy their big trips and ride well with their friends.

Andrew was a professional cyclist for 12 years, competing and winning races internationally at the highest levels of the sport. In 2002, he was the Canadian National Champion, and has stood on the National’s podium five other times during his career.

Andrew has coached multiple riders to podium finishes at the Canadian National Championship and has helped many Masters athletes attain their goals, notably in events such as the Haute Route and Trans Alps.
