Neuchâtel
Cycling coach in Neuchâtel
Neuchâtel sits on a slope between its lake and the first ridge of the Jura, and the two give you completely different training grounds within fifteen minutes of each other. The lakeside is flat, long and sheltered. Turn inland and you are climbing through vineyards into forest almost immediately, with gradients that carry on far longer than anyone expects the first time.
The town is compact and studenty, with a university and a strong local sports culture, which means facilities are good relative to the population. Weekday evenings fill up fastest. It is also the easiest of our towns to reach from the Bernese side, if you are coming across for a session.
This is climbing country, so that is what we coach
Everything here goes up. The vineyard roads of La Côte, the Jura passes, the Alpine cols within an hour of the lake — which means most sessions end up being about climbing well rather than riding fast on the flat. Cadence, pacing a long ascent, when to stand, and how to arrive at the top with something left.
Position and equipment
A session often starts with twenty minutes on your position, because most amateur riders are fighting their bike rather than riding it. Bring your own bike — coaching on an unfamiliar one wastes half the value. Your coach brings nothing you need except judgement.

Common questions
How fit do I need to be?
Your coach rides at your pace. A session is not a group ride with someone stronger than you, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.
Can you help me prepare for a sportive?
Yes, and it is a common reason people book. Tell us the event and the date and the session gets built backwards from it.
What if the weather is bad?
Light rain, we ride. Ice, storms or genuinely dangerous conditions, your coach contacts you and we move the session at no cost.
