One-to-one and small-group coaching built around race pace, not just good intentions. Ten-plus years in the saddle, two seasons coaching full-time, and a race number pinned on across the UK every season.
Whether you're lining up at your first enduro or you've plateaued somewhere between "quick on Strava" and "quick when it counts," this is coaching built around what actually moves the needle: line choice, braking, pacing and the small technical habits that fall apart under pressure. Sessions run out of Swinley Bike Hub, with race-day tactics drawn from stages across the UK and trails ridden right across Europe.
"Small technical changes, ridden at speed, are what separate a good run from a great one."— Mary Ann Lynn
Four ways to work together, from first sessions on the bike to full race-day preparation.

I've spent over a decade on a mountain bike, the last two years of it coaching full-time from Swinley Bike Hub. In between, I've ridden trails right across Europe and lined up at enduro races across the UK, which is where most of what I teach actually comes from: hard-won lessons from stages that didn't go to plan, and the fixes that made the next one better.
I also represent several of the sport's major brands, which keeps me close to the latest kit, technique and thinking in the industry, and keeps my own coaching held to a high standard. Whatever brought you to a bike, my job is the same: get you riding with more control, more confidence, and more pace than you had at the start of the session.
"I am an experienced red-runner. As a heavier rider, I struggle with jumps. First time visit to The Summit, which is an excellent skills area. Mary Ann deconstructed some of my body position and a lot of breaking it down and slowing me down. I managed to properly attain tabletop pop!"

It's not just a coaching session — it's ongoing support, a growing library of know-how, and a clear record of your own progress, all in one place.
The exact kind of resource every client gets inside their portal — a proper, fillable Bike Setup Sheet covering tyre pressure, torque settings, and two full suspension setups.

This form is for anyone booking private coaching with me directly (separate from Swinley Bike Hub's own registration). Mountain biking and coaching sessions involve physical exertion, so a few health questions first.
Please answer honestly — a "yes" answer doesn't necessarily mean you can't take part, it just means we may check with your GP first.
