Thanks for your visit today.
It’s been a very difficult decision but I’ve decided to take some time off from mountain bike coaching.
A couple of years ago Forestry England decided they wanted 15% from every booking. This year they have elected to raise that to 20%. I run my coaching business as a secondary income stream for my online marketing / web design business, which is VAT registered. So to pay Forestry England 20% is like paying VAT twice! It’s just left a bad taste in mouth and made me question whether it’s worth continuing.
I’m also very busy with the web business and juggling the two can get very challenging at times.
I suspect I’ll return to coaching because I do really enjoy it and I’ve been lucky to coach some fantastic clients over the past 6 years. If I do start again it’s likely to be at private venues on a private basis rather than group sessions. If that is of interest please fill out an enquiry form to say you might be interested if and when, and be sure to tick the ‘occasionally email me’ box, as that adds you to my mailing list.
You can still find me coaching online at: rlc-mtb.com, which I can highly recommend for anyone looking to improve their skills.
I look forward to seeing you on the trails.
