Your ticket to having fun on your bike while riding faster and further than you have before, by using the coaching techniques that work; not making the same mistakes as everyone else.
We don't follow the flock.
It's good to be the black sheep. Everyone needs to get their own understanding, and do things their own way. We'll break down the skills and techniques and build them up so you know what works for you. A solid technical understanding means you get explanations in consistent, simple language: direct to what helps.
We are technical.
Ram is a male sheep, but also a play on computer RAM. Physics are a big part of what keeps us on the bike. Getting deep into the technical aspects of all of the forces and motion at play while riding dramatically improves your ability to learn quickly and continue to improve.
Rohan also runs Black Ram Labs, a digital sports technology development consultancy helping companies around the world build gadgets that impact your riding. The same approach applies to both businesses.
