Meet Coach Ryan
Cycling across Ireland in a day, through the hills of Tuscany, over the French Alps, up the world’s longest sustained paved climb up the Haleakala volcano in Maui and completing long distance triathlons are just a few of Ryan’s athletic adventures. Ryan is a person who inspires with energy, drive and enthusiasm for life and training with him is to experience his positive outlook; Ryan’s infectious personality will have you ‘making your days count rather than counting your days’.
