Testimonials

"I wanted to let you know that this season was my best by far. Not only did I get my first podiums, I had numerous podium finishes and had enough fitness to keep training and racing for the full season! Thanks Chris! I was also going to mention that you helped me get my threshold up 50plus watts from where it was."
—Todd Searle

"A structured, scientifically sound training program is essential if you want to improve performance and be a top competitor. Since hiring Chris Mayhew as my coach, my workouts have gone from random exercises to structured and productive training sessions. With Chris' help I've increased my power, speed, and technical skills -- all of which has helped me become a more confident and efficient racer. Chris is supportive, attentive, and always willing to answer any questions. His support extends beyond training to include helpful information
concerning racing tactics and bike and equipment maintenance."

—Terri Spanogle, National Capital Velo Club, Expert mountain biker

"I have been working with Chris since January of 2007. I have found that he provides me with outstanding plans, and great feedback. He has been quick to respond to my questions, and before my big events he has given me great tips, as well as any course or local knowledge he may have that could help me perform better. This fall, for the first time in 10 years of racing cyclocross, I won a Cat 3 race. This is in no small part a product of Chris' efforts and guidance. Chris has been a vital partner in both my and my wife's preparation for the 2007 Cross Season.

I respect his opinions and advice from setting the bicycle up mechanically, practicing for the discipline of cyclocross, and strategies for criterium racing."

—Evan Robinson, TRM Cycles

"I hired Chris to be our team mechanic at the 2007 Tour de Toona. He worked
tirelessly to make sure that the girls' bikes were in perfect condition, and was always there to lend a hand with other duties for the team. His commitment and dedication to his work was outstanding. Plus, he was fun to have around!"
