Chris Riekert Coaching

I'm Chris, and I've been a competitive cyclist for over 15 years. I have multiple Elite Nationals podium finishes in both road racing and time trials, and I am a former California state road race champion. Throughout my career, I've secured more than 25 Cat 1 wins.

COACHING PHILOSOPHY

Since 2019, I have been coaching cycling, primarily focusing on helping new and intermediate racers develop effective race strategies and tactics.

I believe that fitness is only part of the equation. Great results come from creating a solid plan and learning how to execute it or adapt as the race unfolds. I will help you better understand what to expect on race day, whether you're participating in a local four-corner criterium or tackling your first 100-mile gravel ride.

Together, we will develop a season-long plan to prepare you for your goals, and I will design weekly workouts that fit into your life and align with your event schedule.

I offer only one level of coaching and have limited availability. I believe it's important for us to be a good fit in order to work together. If you'd like to learn more or apply, please reach out below.
