What riders say

I had never ridden 134 miles with 8000 feet of climbing before. I was not sure I had any business even considering this challenge being an average rider at best… My goal was to finish the ride and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I felt great and my time was better than I expected it to be. At 61 years old I generally feel better riding and climbing is much easier.

I came to Shayne and GCC with lots of enthusiasm and willingness to work, but without knowing how to take my riding to the next level. I also had a bucket list goal: California's "Death Ride"… Several (hard!) months later, I crushed the Death Ride and went on to several other challenging rides later in the season. After that, I even took up racing, something I'd never thought I'd do, and had a blast competing in our local cyclocross series.

The A group, the fast ones on the Saturday ride. A sub 5 hour century. These were my goals and they had eluded me for years because, I now see, I didn't really have a plan for achieving them… I achieved my original goals, grew to set new ones and achieved those as well. There is only one way to say this and that is that 2015 was the most fun I've ever had on a bike.

Taking up bike racing in one's late forties is not for the faint of heart. Surrounded by riders with years of experience and twenty-somethings who feel no pain, there are far too many opportunities for injury, suffering and humiliation… I wanted to try it but I needed to be stronger and prepared… He got me stronger and got me my first pack finish. Things that, quite frankly, get harder as you get older.

My power has rebounded post collarbone/shoulder blade surgery and I'm riding better than I ever have. Shayne will give credit when credit is due and also be straight forward when he knows there is improvement to be gained.

I started training on my own to a point that was not improving my performance until I started to train with GC Coaching. It is difficult to believe how a specific training makes a lot of difference. It has been accompanied by all the steps in these months of racing season and I have been getting better and better.

At GC Coaching they utilize Training Peaks to keep your calendar, upload workouts… Their willingness to use ZWIFT for training also sets them apart and helps keep you on track. You can not go wrong with GC Coaching.

I have 3 small boys and I travel roughly 40% of the time, so finding the time to do enough training has been a challenge… I feel so much stronger than I did a year ago.

This ride was no small goal for me, it included about 400 miles and almost 30,000 feet of climbing at altitude over 6 days… My goal was to not just finish, but finish strong… Coach Shayne's workout plans, encouragement, and an appropriate amount of pushing was instrumental in my completion of the ride.

I realized something was different in the way we both trained. We were both driven athletes, but he had structure, goals and a training plan that kept him improving ride after ride. These were all the things I wanted and knew I needed to progress as a cyclist… The structure I received was exactly what I needed. Knowing my training schedule weeks in advance is tremendously helpful.

Working with GC Coaching has enabled me to remain on a path of constant growth over several seasons… I highly recommend GC Coaching because they utilize quality coaching techniques with evidence-based data analysis.
