I see Gorrick have skill training on their website. http://www.gorrick.com/training

Has anyone ever done any of these courses and have an opinion?

    Can't say anything about whether they're good or bad. I will, however, make a counter suggestion that you consider UK Bike Skills (google for the website or PM jedi on the forums) as I HAVE had coaching from Jedi and am very happy with the outcome.

    Do you come over to Swinley Jedi? It's just super convenient being right on my doorstep.

    If numbers are an issue for the Jedi, i could persuade at least 1-2 more people to come do it too.

    Better but still have some mental issues to overcome. I'm getting a mental block on new stuff I'm riding that is less technical than stuff I ride regularly for some reason but I'm getting there, albeit slowly. Drop mojo seems to have evaporated but if I can pop back one Sunday I'll get my head together on them again.

    I did a one on one skills course through Gorrick and it was totally excellent, I would definitely recommend Andy the bike trainer.

    Is that Andy Guerin from Purple Bike Shed? Nice bloke, he worked on my bike a few years back and gave me a lot of helpful maintenance/workshop tips. Not had coaching though
