Success Stories!
Creating results for riders, from beginner to pro, since 2013
Natalie Koncz
"I’ve been working on manuals this summer with your lessons and it’s truly had an amazing effect on my riding. Just finished up a trip to Moab & Fruita this week & the results paid off in spades. I actually looked forward to rock drops and landed them successfully, was clearing gap jumps and even manualed over my first crack / dip today. Thank you sooooo much for all the time & energy you’ve put into this endeavour of teaching us how to be better riders.
Phil Bendix
"Hey Guys, first of all - thanks for the best mountain biking online platform out there. It is on a complete different level than the normal Youtube videos you find out there. I just became a certified MTB instructor by the German Alpine Club and I can see how a lot of educational tricks we apply are embedded in the practise sessions from the videos. Great Stuff."
Chris Engel
"You have elevated my riding dramatically. To put this in some perspective. The first trail I tried when I moved to Colorado some years ago was Dakota Ridge. This is perhaps one of the most technical trails in Colorado. Where I once hiked a bike 90% of the time, I am now riding 95% of this trail. Your lessons have helped tremendously. I spent most of the last winter in Moab riding lots of technical terrain. It has been through your lessons that I was able to clean what I see many others hike."
Jill Kintner
"It was really fun being guided by Ryan for the wheelie challenge. He is so calm & thorough with his teaching style, I really enjoyed all the daily lessons and made a lot of progress even with my skill sets as a pro. I practiced every day, learned a lot, & went from a few pedal strokes to about 30 pedal strokes under control. Anywhere I go now, I’m wheeling thanks to Ryan."

Why Ryan Leech Connection?
Trail - Bike - Body - Mind - Flow
Our motto! All the curriculums and content is designed by leveraging this integrative perspective for adult learning.
Trail
Every trail is unique and each demands a unique combination of skills. Trails are why we mountain bike, they connect us to challenge, nature, and experience. Improving your skills will allow you to ride the trail as the builder intended, without skipping the fun bits.
Bike-Body
Progressions that slowly build in difficulty are used to establish correct bike-body movement patterns. Our bodies, just like our bikes, also need maintenance, so the site offers 50+ yoga and therapeutic movement routines for when you need a tune up.
Mind
A crucial yet under-appreciated aspect of adult learning is how we use (or don’t use) our mind. We build this into each and every course and provide mental fitness practices to boost your performance so you can be your best.
Flow
Find flow by intentionally engaging in practice drills and theory. Eventually the mental effort of learning drops away and you'll find yourself in the zone. It's a mysterious state, and one we discuss frequently at RLC. Our courses will help get you there.
