Rik Allsop
The coaching / tuition side of Rik's Bike Shed is often forgotten about cos we're so busy doing other stuff but hey, it's pretty much the best fun of all the options on the menu.
Based at Drumlanrig, Rik has easy access to the natural technical trails at the castle, the Lowthers are on the doorstep for big days out (there is a Landrover uplift to the top of Green Lowther for the cautious climbers), the Ae XC and (Rik built) DH courses are only a hop over the hills and Mabie and Dalbeattie all less than an hour.
Rik was organising and racing in XC and DH events in the 80's even before setting up the shop and trails at Mabie. The 'Sunday Muddy Sunday' family rides, school races and the 'Full Mental' club have produced many Scottish Champions and more than a few British National podiums.
Rik has been a certified Mountain Bike Leader for as long as you could be one, (certificate number MTB001) so you can be pretty sure he'll be able to help with your riding technique, confidence fitness or just all round riding ability.
Riks Bike Shed has a stock of good quality front and full suspension bikes and can cater for groups of all ages.
