Congratulations to all the #FINISHERS and Buckle winners at Marji Gesick '25 - there were a lot of you this year, and coach Rob is thrilled that you utilised his plans to achieve success in "the hardest one-day mountain bike race in America".

EVERESTING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS '25

Congratulations to RLP athletes, Sarah Ruggins, Gavin Douglas, and Andre Portelli, who joined coach Rob to win the team category at the Everesting World Championships on Mt. Etna in Sicily.

SHE'S GONE AND BROKEN THE WORLD RECORD!

LEJOGGLE - 2715 km in 5 days 11 hours 14 minutes.

Sarah's journey from paralysis to elite endurance athlete is one of quiet remarkable resilience, but this incredible athlete deserves some noise. Congratulations on all you have achieved, Sarah, and thank you for inspiring us with your relentless grit, smiles and focus.

AS FEATURED IN

ROB LEE

ATHLETE

Rob raced as an elite category cross country mountain bike athlete throughout the late 90s (ranked No.10 in the UK in 1998) before making a successful transition to solo endurance racing in 2003. He went on to become one of most successful and influential solo endurance racers in the UK. After accumulating an extensive collection of victories in big races in the UK, Europe and Canada, including a Masters 24 hour Solo World Championships title in 2005, he then progressed onto long-distance challenges. Rob was the first rider to complete the infamous South Downs Double unsupported. His palmarès includes victories in road racing, time trial, off-road duathlon, mountain bike cross country, cyclo-cross and mountain bike marathon. In 2013 Rob was inducted into the UK mountain biking Hall of Fame.

COACH

Rob started his coaching journey in 1995 as a volunteer skills instructor for West Thames Division of the British Cycling Federation. As his racing progressed other athletes started to seek his advice and he was soon helping others improve their performance. Over the next 25 years Rob has been prolific with his coaching and mentoring activities in many sectors of the cycling and motorsports industries.

My full CV is available here

INDUSTRY CONSULTANT

Rob was a guest speaker at the 2020 TrainingPeaks Endurance Coaching Summit which was run virtually to 12,000 attendees from around the world. He is recognised as one the the UK's top bike fitters and collaborated with Simon Smart to create the studio AeroFit at Drag2Zero, World leaders in cycling aerodynamics. Rob is regularly invited to contribute to endurance, coaching and cycling magazines and podcasts.  

Rob is an excellent coach with deep knowledge and experience in endurance cycling, bike fitting and aerodynamics. His coaching helped me win the World 24 hour TT championships in 2017, train for a record attempt the length of the UK, and finish in the top 10 (and first female finisher) at BikingMan Oman in 2019. More important than race results, Rob has cemented an understanding that consistency is key and helped me become a more disciplined rider. Although the training is first and foremost aimed at getting me physically ready for my goals, the mental element is always given due attention too, something that is especially important for the longer distances. Rob understands the challenges of combining big cycling goals with a demanding career and/or family life and is very quick in providing feedback and adapting training sessions where needed. What I appreciate most about Rob is that he always makes me question why I do what I do.
