Is The Collective Right for You?
The Collective isn't "cheap coaching". It's a coached environment — structure, rhythm, and expert guidance — for riders who want to train properly without paying for daily custom adjustments.
Perfect If You:
- Are sick of random workouts on different platforms and want a clear plan that actually builds on itself
- Train 4–12+ hours/week and want your time to actually count
- Like knowing why you're doing each session — not just "because the app said so"
- Want to stop drifting between plans and finally see consistent progress
- Want access to expert coaching thinking without needing daily 1-to-1 communication
Need Something Different?
- Need someone adjusting your plan daily around a chaotic, week-to-week schedule? That's our 1-to-1 coaching — built for exactly that.
- Want to test the methodology before committing monthly? Try MAP Boost for $25 — many Collective members started there.
- Looking for shortcuts, hacks, or "magic workouts"? We're probably not the right fit — we believe in doing the work properly.
What Actually Happens Inside
Most riders don't fail because they lack motivation — they fail because they drift. The Collective is designed to stop that drift by making the next step obvious.
Weekly Structure (Not Guesswork)
Every week you'll see your sessions laid out — what to do, what zones, how long, and why this week matters in your progression. No guessing, no decision fatigue.
Monthly Live Q&A (Recorded)
Bring your questions about training, fatigue, racing, pacing, nutrition, and planning. Get clear answers from Ric directly. Every session is recorded — watch replays anytime.
No Jargon Fog
MAP, zones, FTP, load, recovery — everything is explained clearly. You'll never sit there wondering "what does this mean?" while everyone else seems to get it.
Community & Accountability
Not "social media vibes" — a supportive group of riders doing the work, comparing notes, and keeping each other consistent.

What You Get
A simple promise: you'll stop wasting training hours and start progressing with a clear plan. Here's exactly what's inside.
📅 Progressive Training Cycles
Year-round structured blocks that build on each other:
- Cycle 1: Raise VO2max (aerobic ceiling)
- Cycle 2: Build durability (fatigue resistance)
- Cycle 3: Raise threshold (sustainable power)
- Repeat / rotate cycles to keep progressing year-round
Plans available for riders training <6 hours/week and >6 hours/week.
Specialised modules: Time Trial Prep, Crit Racing, Gravel, Sportives, Return-from-Illness protocols.
🧠 Monthly Live Coaching Q&As
One live session each month. Ask anything. Get clear answers. Every session is recorded.
Best use: "Here's my context — what should I focus on next?"
🛠️ FREE TrainingPeaks Premium
Included in membership (worth $19.95/month) so you can track and execute your plan properly.
📚 Learning Lab
Short, focused resources and deeper dives that teach you the "why" behind the training.
So you don't just follow workouts — you understand what you're building and why it works.
🏆 Community & Accountability
Celebrate progress, ask questions, share context, and stay consistent with riders who are also doing the work.
Your First 90 Days
You won't be left wondering "what do I do next?". Here's the typical pathway members follow.
Week 1
Do your MAP test, set your zones, start Cycle 1. You'll know exactly what you're building and why.
Weeks 2–6
Work through structured VO2 sessions designed to raise your aerobic ceiling and improve high-end repeatability.
Week 7
Retest MAP and see measurable change. Adjust zones if needed. Progress stays objective — you'll see it in the numbers.
Weeks 8–12
Move into durability and fatigue resistance work — this is where riders stop fading late in rides and races.
Week 13
Retest again. If you do the work, you'll see it in the numbers — and feel it on the bike.

Same Training. Same Results. Best Season Ever at 60.
Kevin trains on the same progressive cycles available in The Collective. His results at age 60:
- 7 out of 8 age group wins in the South Downs Hill Climb Series (+ 6 PBs)
- Vets (over 40) Series Champion
- 2 top 10s in National Stallard road race series
- 5th BMCR National Road Bike TT Champs
- 3rd overall Goodwood TT Series (Road Bike)
- 2nd overall VTTA Closed Circuit Champs (Road Bike)
The methodology behind Kevin's results is exactly what you'll follow inside The Collective — the same progressive cycles, the same structure, the same approach that keeps producing PBs and age-group wins.

The Longer Story — Why This Exists
Here's what drives me: I was told I'd never walk again at age 11.
Juvenile arthritis put me in a wheelchair for two years. When I got back on a bike at 14, I was so ill I came dead last in every race for six years. But I kept showing up.
By 22, I'd made it to 1st category. Today, at 56, I'm still racing — 42 consecutive seasons without missing a year. I've maintained the same VO2max I had 30 years ago. My FTP is 10W higher now. My 5-second peak power? 150W higher than three decades ago.
The Collective is the environment I wish existed when I was coming up: structure, clarity, and a community doing the work — without the price tag of daily 1-to-1 coaching.
