Balance MTB started life as a mountain bike skills coaching business – helping riders build their skills and confidence on the trails.

​

These days, my main focus is Trail Mates: relaxed, social rides designed to help people use riding as a reset from the mental load of everyday life. The skills still matter, but the priority is headspace, connection, and remembering that getting outside with other humans actually helps.

​

I still run the odd 1:1 or small group coaching session, especially for riders who are nervous, coming back from a crash, or starting from scratch. But the core of what I do now is simple: get people out riding, together, without the pressure.
