After many years of working in business, I returned to cycling as a coach later in life, so I understand the doubts, fears, and practical challenges that riders face when they start or return to the sport or work towards what can be a daunting goal, whether it is racing a 100-mile gravel event within a certain time or completing a 14-day challenge to ride across a country. That experience shapes my coaching. My clients tell me that my calm, supportive, and focused manner gives them clarity and helps them understand what to do, why it matters, and how to fit training around real life.
My approach blends lived experience with an engineering and consulting background, supported by British Cycling and TrainingPeaks certifications and tools like TrainingPeaks and WKO5. I've completed multi-day endurance rides such as LEJOG, Roscoff–Mont Ventoux, Mallorca 312 and London–Paris, and I use those lessons to guide athletes toward their own big goals with confidence.
I believe improvement should feel sustainable, not overwhelming. At BaseCamp I'm part of a coaching team that values community and long-term progress, and I'm here to help you build strength, consistency, and a genuine enjoyment of riding.
Outside of coaching, you'll usually find me exploring new roads or enjoying a good coffee.

Athlete Testimonials
Grant helped me train smart for the Leadville 100 MTB race and I finished 45 minutes ahead of my 10-hour goal. The plan was tailored and science-based with clear workouts, smart progressions, and weekly check-ins that kept me accountable. Grant’s guidance on pacing, altitude prep, and fueling was spot on, and the taper had me ready on race day. Highly recommended for anyone chasing a big endurance milestone. Thanks! - Mike H.
Grant has excellent knowledge, an ability to explain and reason around why things must be done and a calm and adaptable approach to getting the right result. For me that result was completing LeJog on schedule with no drama. - Christopher
Grant listened to my concerns and devised a training schedule that fitted around my incredibly busy job. It’s now been 3 months and I can’t believe how much stronger and more consistent I am at climbing. I’ve really enjoyed watching my numbers improve week after week along with all the motivational support Grant provided. Thank you Grant for turning my lofty goal into a reality. I honestly couldn’t have done it without you. - Belinda
Grant guided and supported me through a structured plan that resulted in me fulfilling my dream, as a competitor, representing my country in the UCI World Amateur Road Race Championships in Perth, Scotland. I didn't make the podium but that was never a part of the dream, but I did compete and produced the best ride of my life. The progress was beyond my expectations for such a short training period, with most of the important metrics improving by between 20-25%. - Phillip
I have been training with Grant for over a year now and it’s been a fantastic journey. I could not recommend him enough. He is experienced, knowledgeable, engaging, empathetic and always encourages you to reach for your best. I have over-achieved my goals with Grant's guidance and support, increased my power and become the fittest I have ever been. From his calm and engaging style, great listening skills, and always interesting insights, I enjoyed our discussions, and appreciated Grant's willingness to always accommodate whatever comes up and support me to work through it and continue to train. Highly recommended as a coach, 5 star experience. - Abud
I engaged Grant as a Coach in August '21 when I decided to do the Mallorca 312 . I can honestly say I've never been better prepared for an ultra race event and I peaked right at the exact right time. - Ronan
The whole package from Grant has been second to none, his support and guidance has been fantastic nothing was too much trouble, with regular reviews I could constantly see myself progressing everything was explained in a way I could understand. My training was adjusted constantly to help me improve area's of weakness, things that I was not aware of this has transformed my cycling in every way. I'm enjoying my cycling even more now that I'm fitter and stronger all down to Grant. - Darrell
