Eric C. - Group Class Participant
You are the literally the piece that has been missing from my training pie! In just a few short weeks, I’ve seen a huge improvement in my bike handling, most especially with cornering, which has helped me ride faster and more confident than ever. I’ve PR’d and QOM’d trails that I haven’t PR’d in years.

The online course has given me a new lease of life on riding. I’ve thrown it in a few times over my life due to frustration. You have me on a good path to success!
