Jim is an excellent fellow with a terrific knowledge of all things related to cycling. I engaged him as my coach in late 2008 to help me get ready to ride the cycling section of the Alpe D'Huez Triathlon in July 2009.

Jim built me a simulated Alpe D'Huez course to ride on my Computrainer.  As a result of this, and with the benefit of Jim's great coaching, I've progressed in a few months from barely being able to ride the first kilometer of 10%-11% grades, to being able to complete the entire 13 kilometer course, with substantially more power than I had initially.

With 3 months left to train, I am confident that the experience I am gaining with Jim is putting me in good shape to tackle Alpe D'Huez, whereas I had serious doubt about it not long ago! I absolutely recommend Jim as a cycling coach, because of his great experience, knowledge and manner, and also because he is happy to work with recreational athletes to help them learn and to strengthen cycling techniques.

Jim has an extensive knowledge of the technical aspects of bicycling and how to train for cycle racing from the basic to elite level. As well as recommending him as a cycle coach, I have found that working with Jim I have been able to utilize his advice to make improvements in other sports.

I signed up for a cycling trip in Utah. The trip was classified for "advanced" riders. I was at best a recreational cyclist at the time. Knowing that I was going to have to start training seriously if I wanted to benefit fully from this trip; I hired Jim. I started training with Jim in February for the trip in September. I can honestly say that there is no way I would have been able to attain the conditioning and strength I acquired without Jim's guidance and expertise. Jim helped with adjusting my diet and supplements to maximize my conditioning throughout the training period with him. Training inside and outside was a lot of fun and I certainly felt like I had achieved the fitness level I needed to be at to enjoy my cycling trip in Zion National Park as well as Bryce Canyon, Utah.

I would highly recommend Jim. I can't think of a better way to spend a holiday than on the seat of a bike exploring the countryside. This was a life altering experience for me....thank you, Jim for helping me along the road. It was a blast!!
