Cycling Coaching in Aberdeenshire

Endless back roads, big views over Royal Deeside and iconic climbs like Cairn O’ Mount – Aberdeenshire is made for cyclists who want to push their limits. Ride Revolution Scotland provides fully online, data-driven cycling coaching that’s tailored to the unique terrain of the North East, helping you get the most out of every ride from the coast to the Cairngorm foothills.

Why Aberdeenshire Is a Brilliant Place to Train

Aberdeenshire gives you almost every training environment you could want. Long rolling B-roads around Banchory and Stonehaven are perfect for tempo and endurance work, while the exposed ascent of Cairn O’ Mount on the B974 offers a serious test of climbing legs, with sustained gradients and changing wind conditions that demand good pacing and smart gearing choices.

The quieter routes inland from Aberdeen towards Alford, Ballater and Braemar let you stack quality hours with minimal interruptions, ideal for building aerobic base and race-ready durability. When you want a motivation boost, you’ve got events like Ride the North, a sociable long-distance challenge that showcases the scenery of the North and North East and regularly features roads in and around Aberdeenshire.

Our coaching uses these natural advantages rather than fighting them. We design your indoor sessions and outdoor ride prescriptions so that every route you ride in Aberdeenshire has a clear purpose – whether that’s a sweetspot block into the headwind, VO2 intervals on a brutal local ramp, or a steady endurance loop along the Dee.

Online Coaching Built Around Your Local Routes

Ride Revolution Scotland is an online-first coaching service. There’s no need to meet in person or travel to a studio – instead, we combine your ride data, power numbers and training feedback with detailed knowledge of Aberdeenshire’s roads to build a plan that fits your life and your landscape.

What You Get with Our Coaching

Bespoke training plan: Structured around your schedule, current fitness and goals, from completing your first big challenge ride to targeting personal bests on local climbs.
Terrain-aware sessions: We match interval work to local routes – for example, using the run out from Aberdeen to the countryside for warm-ups, or specific hills for threshold repeats.
Power and heart-rate analysis: We review your files on climbs, group rides and solo sessions to refine pacing and identify where you’ll gain the most speed for your effort.
Ongoing communication: Regular check-ins online to adjust your plan based on weather, work, family and events, so your training stays realistic and sustainable.
Strength & conditioning guidance: Simple, cycling-specific exercises you can do at home to stay robust through long Aberdeenshire winters and windy spring rides.

Targets That Matter to Aberdeenshire Riders

Every county has its own cycling calendar and culture, and we build your programme with that in mind. For Aberdeenshire-based cyclists, that might mean:

Preparing for big Scottish challenge rides such as Ride the North or other long-distance charity events that roll through the North East.
Building the climbing strength and pacing skills you need to feel in control on Cairn O’ Mount and the other punchy ascents scattered across Royal Deeside.
Using longer loops towards the Cairngorms to simulate sportive courses with repeated climbs and fast valley sections.
Balancing midweek turbo work with weekend road miles on quieter routes from places like Westhill, Inverurie, Ellon or Stonehaven.

Because our coaching is online, we can adapt quickly. Stormy weekend? We’ll flip the plan to a focused indoor session. Light evening and a spare hour? We’ll suggest a specific local loop and session that makes the most of it.

Part of the North East Cycling Community

Aberdeenshire has a strong and growing cycling scene, from newer clubs like Cairn Cycling Club to long-standing local groups and informal chain-gangs heading out of Aberdeen. Whether you ride mainly solo or love group spins to your favourite café, we factor that social side into your training.

We don’t replace your club; we help you get more from it. If your main hard session each week is the fast group ride, we’ll programme the rest of your week to complement that, rather than leaving you permanently tired and plateauing. If you prefer quieter solo efforts on rural roads, we’ll build a plan that keeps you motivated and progressing without needing a bunch ride to feel pushed.
