GOLD COACHING
Train With Ric. Get Faster. Stay Consistent. Premium 1-to-1 coaching for riders who want more than a plan—they want a partnership.
You've tried training plans. You've followed programs. Maybe you've even hired a coach before.
But here's what you really need: someone who understands YOUR goals, YOUR limiters, and YOUR life—and adjusts your training week by week to keep you progressing.
Gold Coaching gives you direct access to Ric Stern—27 years of coaching experience, from world champions to weekend warriors. You get weekly training plans, regular coaching calls, detailed workout analysis, and nutrition guidance to fuel your progress.
This isn't cookie-cutter. It's hands-on, responsive coaching that adapts as you do.
The CycleCoach Difference
Ric's been racing for 42 consecutive seasons. He's coached world champions, Paralympic medalists, and the two-time winner of the Transcontinental Race. Featured in Cycling Weekly for his journey from wheelchair at age 11 to still racing with "the kids" at 56. He invented the MAP test-to-FTP estimation method now used by Zwift, Rouvy, and MyWhoosh. Published peer-reviewed research. Holds one of the world's largest collections of personal power data dating back to 1994. You're not getting theory. You're getting proven systems that work. "Ric took me from Cat 5 to Cat 2 in less than 2 years. Twenty years later, I'm back because the coaching works." — Rob (Zippy)
