What You Get in the CycleCoach Collective
Whether you want to get faster, not get dropped on group rides, or finally beat your mates on the local climbs, you'll get structured training backed by 27 years of coaching science—not guesswork.
📅 Progressive Training Cycles
Structured training blocks that build on each other throughout the year. Cycle 1 raises VO2max for quick fitness gains, Cycle 2 increases durability and fatigue resistance, Cycle 3 raises your threshold, and subsequent cycles continue advancing your fitness year-round.
Plans available for riders training <6 hours/week and >6 hours/week.
Specialised modules include: Time Trial Prep, Crit Racing, Gravel Racing, Sportive Preparation, and Return from Illness protocols.
👨🏫 Monthly Live Coaching Q&As
Every month, I show up live to answer your questions about training, racing, nutrition, equipment—anything cycling. Can't make it live? Every session is recorded so you never miss out.

What Cyclists Say About Training With Me
5:58 to 4:45 and Podium Finish
In One Year. At 52 Years Old.
"My experience with coach Ric was excellent. He took me from a 5:58 finish at Dakota Five O in 2024 to a 4:45 finish and a podium in 2025. He puts out the plan early so you have time to plan your week. At 52 years old it's been fun reaching new heights in bike racing."
"Ric at CycleCoach has been an absolute game-changer for my training. His deep knowledge, personalised approach, and constant support have transformed how I ride."
"I've been working with Ric for over 6 months now. I came to him as an 'older' rider (40s) who took up biking later in life. With his support and guidance, my bike training has become more focused, structured, and enjoyable."
"I trained under Ric for 3 years. I really improved a lot, got silver medal at Masters Nationals. Ric's knowledge is second to none."
"This is my second time working with Ric. The first time was 20 years ago when he took me from Cat 5 to Cat 2 in less than a year."
"Richard has great knowledge of cycle coaching and testing. I went for a FTP test to find my correct training zones. He pushed me harder than I could have done on my own, highly recommended."
"Ric is a hugely experienced and knowledgeable coach. He is passionate about training, but very flexible in his approach to match your lifestyle and goals."
Who I Am & Why I Built This
I've been coaching cyclists since 1997. I've helped athletes win world championships, Paralympic medals, and transcontinental races. I created the MAP test protocol that Zwift, Rouvy, and other major platforms use for FTP estimation.
But here's what drives me: I was told I'd never walk again at age 11.
Juvenile arthritis put me in a wheelchair for two years. When I got back on a bike at 14, I was so ill I came dead last in every race for six years. But I kept showing up.
By 22, I'd made it to 1st category. Today, at 56, I'm still racing—42 consecutive seasons without missing a year. I've maintained the same VO2max I had 30 years ago. My FTP is 10W higher now. My 5-second peak power? 150W higher than three decades ago.
I know what it takes to get faster, stay consistent, and keep riding strong—because I've lived it.
The CycleCoach Collective is everything I wish I'd had when I was coming up through the ranks: structured training, expert guidance, and a supportive community—all for less than the cost of a new set of tyres each month.
If you're ready to get faster and ride stronger, this is for you.
