Hey there, I'm Raf. I specialise in ultra-distance adventure cycling, individual performance, and target-focused training plans. I provide my coaching expertise to cyclists who participate in events and those who don't compete, who have personal cycling goals or wanting to use cycling to establish or maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Athlete's Journey... Sarah Atmore, Ultra-endurance Cyclist, Cape Town, South Africa
​
“Rafeeq helped me realize anything, not just finishing an ultra-endurance mountain bike race is attainable. My goal event was the Munga, an ultra endurance mountain bike race across a semi desert located in South Africa in the midst of summer. For 12 months I trained with Rafeeq from RIDEANDRACE, each session had a specific aim in preparing me for the race. I went into the event mentally and physically prepared for everything and despite it being a challenging event I felt strong throughout.​"
