Hi, I'm Raf.
I help cyclists push their limits through ultra-distance adventure cycling and personalised coaching. Whether you’re targeting ultra-endurance races like The Munga or BikingMan, multi-day stage events like Cape Epic or Gravel Burn, single-day ultras, or simply want to ride stronger and enjoy the journey, I work with riders of all levels to reach their goals.
My Approach
I combine real-world experience with continued learning to create practical, personalised coaching. Together, we build a strong physical, mental, and emotional foundation, so cycling remains a lifelong source of growth, challenge, and joy.
Coaching Program
Full, personalised coaching for athletes who want guidance, accountability, and a plan that works with their life, mindset, and goals. More than just workouts... this is a complete performance partnership. I coach people first, athletes second. You’re a person with a life before you’re an athlete with a training plan.
Athlete Journey
"Rafeeq helped me realize that anything, not just finishing an ultra-endurance mountain bike race is attainable. He helped me prepare for my first ultra. Each session had a purpose, and I went into the race mentally and physically ready. The guidance and support made all the difference."
– Sarah Atmore, Munga
“Rafeeq wraps you in that process and supports you on and off the bike. His knowledge, advice, and support are second to none. Having a remote coach feels like a risk, but somehow he knew me better than I knew myself. It felt like I was working with someone I’d known for a long time... he built that trust quickly, and it’s hard to describe.”
– Michelle Hutchins, Gravel Burn
Sometimes motivation comes from unexpected places... like someone else’s race story. The things that help you push through often don’t come from a plan or a coach, but from someone who’s been there.
