My Philosophy
The Spokelore LLC Mountain Bike Instruction — "Connection, Not Competition."
For me, mountain bike coaching is about "connection, not competition." Connection with your bike, the outdoors, your partner, your friends, yourself ... and your community.
So, blending two deep personal passions — mountain biking and learning & development — helps me create an inviting, inclusive environment for anyone who wants to grow their skills and enjoy their time on the trail, at whatever riding level is ideal for you.
As a Level 2 BICP-certified coach, I can help your skill growth from fundamentals to advanced levels. So, you can enjoy mountain biking as an accessible, lifelong activity, at every level.
If you like, we can take the concept of connection even further. As a Gallup-certified StrengthsFinder coach, I can work with individuals or groups to show you how your individual strengths as a person, translate to your strengths as a rider.

My coaching focus is adult riders that range from new to mountain biking to weekend warriors to those looking to amp up their trail skill levels. My curriculum uses a variety of adult learning principles and neuroscience concepts, mental (visualization and intention) and physical skill progression (movement and skill connection), as well as mental and physical goal setting.
- $175 to $350 per session.
