Ally focusses on running our female sessions however she is often out hucking her bike about and coaching the guys too! She has a confident and fun style. Her depth of knowledge, and ability to identify and communicate key points enable her clients to quickly develop their understanding of the skills and to ride trails, jumps and drops with increased confidence and control.
Ally has also a vast experience of Downhill Endurance Racing and UK Gravity Enduro coming 2nd in the 2011 series. So after travelling the past 5 years all around Europe to events giving her a fairly unique female view on this emerging style of riding.
These skills were all built up from spending years travelling around the world doing expeditions to places like Iran, South America and a lot of places in between. Plus Coaching, river guiding and racing at a high standard all round Europe, Asia and Scandinavia. A couple of years ago Ally opted to change paddles to wheels as believe it or not, they cross over very well.

I won't be without:
Furtado If you’re after that one bike that does everything this is the one for you, I love mine and it's a great XC bike that will play on all the trails features with ease.
For all my riding kit and protection. Their Hunter Enduro Shorts are unbeatable, there's no fit, comfort or protection like their helmets, Bushwhacker being my favourite one.
Escapist 25 ltr I use for coaching and guiding.
Zealot 16 ltr Is a great bag for carting around pads and DH helmet when pushing up with DH bike and for my own riding when I'm a bit more exposed.
Is great for keeping my bikes clean and in good condition and its good for the environment.
Do really good brake pads, cables and components, designed and made in Wales.
Helps me to keep my energy and help my recovery after races and long sessions.
