‘‘I’m a mountain bike coach with a passion for all aspects of the sport. Ever since I was a child, I’ve been fascinated by the challenges and beauty of natural landscapes, finding in mountain biking a way to merge these two interests. I ride above all for pleasure and for my health. For me, every bike outing is a moment of freedom and communion with nature, an inexhaustible source of happiness and well-being. Whether it’s a green trail or a double-black, I enjoy it. With over 20 years’ teaching experience in alpine skiing and mountain biking, I’m driven by the desire to share my passion and pass on the benefits of mountain biking. That’s why I became a coach. My approach goes far beyond sporting performance: I seek to instill the joy of cycling and the importance of physical and mental health..‘‘ – Michael Cazes Coaching level: Initiation, beginner, intermediate and advanced.
