Good coach wanted

[Formerly known as easy rider]

We have a pretty "mixed bag" of cyclists in our club.Mainly recreational.Quite a lot of us are interested in finding a coach,somebody that will come up to us in Louis Trichardt and do an assesment and supply us with training programs.

The thinking is to start off with the program in winter after the Kremetart.Most of us will never be hotshot cyclists.I do however believe that a good coach can help even the "easy riders" to make the most of training time.

Have any of you had experience with coaches that you can recommend?Do you know of anybody that would come up to us if there were 20+ cyclists?

Any advice/contacts would be appreciated

1. Send a PM to BikeMax, or go to www.bikemax.co.za Best SA option imo.

2. The strongest rider in our team is coached by Carol Austin www.activeworx.co.za (their services are said to be expensive)

My other team mates and I have had experience with coaching from some of the old riders & ex pro's. I would not recommend most of the ones I know about in Gauteng as a coach. I've found that they have a standard program with your name pasted at the top. No great efforts are made to tailor to your specific needs.
