MTB Guiding & Coaching

In partnership with my wife, I started Pilgrim Blue in 2021. Alongside welcoming guests to our historic church hall, I love sharing my passion for bikes and helping others discover the joy of riding.

As a Derby local, I know just how special our world-class trails are — and I want to help you experience them at their best. I offer both guided rides and skills coaching designed to build confidence, sharpen core MTB techniques, and most importantly, keep the focus on fun and flow.

I specialise in private and small group sessions for beginner and intermediate riders, tailoring each experience to your goals and ability. Whether you’re chasing your first taste of singletrack or looking to smooth out your skills, I’ll help you make the most of your time on the Blue Derby trails.

I’m a PMBIA Level 1 Instructor and a registered AusCycling coach, with extensive local knowledge and years of riding experience right here in Derby.

My Current Favourite Trails

Right now, I’m loving the freshly refurbished Return to Sender — perfect if you’re looking to hit a classic Blue trail with plenty of flow.
