Jeff coaches both within and outside the Chelmer Cycling Club. He coaches all ages and has taken parties of youngsters to race at venues throughout this country, Belgium, France and Germany. He is Chairman of Cycle Coaching East, the lottery funded coaching group that can best help you develop your riding and fitness skills and is a British Cycling Coach, Coach Tutor and Assessor. The best cycling coaches are those who are British Cycling trained, as they are individually assessed during practical coaching sessions. All British Cycling coaches hold First Aid certificates and are fully insured for coaching.

The Chelmer is undoubtedly the best equipped cycling club for coaching in the South of England. 

Our fully re-built headquarters are equipped with everything you need for indoor training. While others struggle to 'train in the rain', our members enjoy our bright and comfortable facilities, racing each other on the Computrainers; or an extended work out on the I-Magic's taking the boredom away from turbo training. Full changing room facilities, including showers and refreshments are available afterwards.

Performance tests are available using the Chelmer's Computrainers, as used by the American Cycling Association and by riders like Lance Armstrong. We have Tacx I-Magic trainers as well as Tacx Grand Master turbo trainers. We have a set of four competition rollers for training as well as racing. There's even a weights bench for those who want to build their upper body strength.

Assistance available includes advice on the following:-

Training Plan preparation, diet.

 

Performance tests available include-

Aerobic Ramp Tests

Anaerobic Maximum Power Tests (similar to King Cycle)

Pedal Stroke Analysis (checks muscle balance in both legs, also best riding position)

Cross training (training methods other than on the bike).

 

The Chelmer Cycling Club work with Cycle Coaching East, the lottery funded coaching group, set up to bring coaching to everyone. We have the skill and knowledge required to train new coaches, so we really can make the difference for you.  Just ask, it may not cost you anything!

Check again later to see if our man has caught the girl. By the way, that's me in the middle, I never could decide whether I wanted to be a body builder or a ballet dancer, but just look at those pecs!
