Who’s This From?

I’m Ric Stern, founder of CycleCoach. I’ve coached riders since 1997—from beginners to World Champions—and I’m still racing and getting faster at 56. The 6 Pillars are the framework I use with my athletes (and myself) to keep improving year after year.

Is it really free? Yes—download the PDF and put it to work.

  1. Will this work if I’m time-crunched? Yes—the Pillars are built for real life.

  2. What if I’m new/returning? Start with consistency and structure; the guide shows you how.
