Cycling Coaching in Dundee

From the waterfront paths and Tay bridges to the climbs of the Sidlaw Hills, Dundee is a fantastic base for cyclists who want varied training without travelling far. Ride Revolution Scotland provides fully online cycling coaching tailored to Dundee and the surrounding area, helping you get faster, fitter and more confident on the bike using the roads and routes you already ride.

Why Dundee Works So Well for Cyclists

Dundee offers a powerful blend of urban access and countryside on the doorstep. From the city centre you can be on quieter roads within minutes, heading towards places like Auchterhouse, Newtyle and the Sidlaw Hills. These routes are ideal for threshold and climbing efforts, with rolling terrain that naturally supports structured sessions.

Flat and gently rolling roads along the Firth of Tay lend themselves to tempo work, longer endurance rides and practising group-ride skills. Within the city, the growing active travel network and projects like Dundee Cycle Hub have helped more people get into cycling, offering everything from introductory lessons to community rides.

Our coaching makes use of this variety, showing you how to match specific workouts to the terrain – rather than just “going for a ride” and hoping fitness follows.

Online Coaching, Local Focus

Ride Revolution Scotland is an online coaching service, so you don’t need to attend in-person sessions or live near a training studio. Instead, we analyse your ride data, understand your goals and build a structured plan that uses Dundee and the surrounding Angus and Fife roads as your training ground.

Coaching for Dundee-Based Riders Includes:

  • Personalised training plan: Built around your work, study and family commitments, so your cycling fits into real life rather than competing with it.
  • Route-specific guidance: Suggestions on how to use local climbs, loops and waterfront routes to complete your prescribed workouts effectively.
  • Data-driven feedback: Regular review of your power, heart rate and ride files so we can refine intensity, volume and pacing.
  • Indoor and outdoor balance: Flexible programming that uses turbo sessions when the weather turns, and maximises outdoor riding when conditions improve.
  • Clear communication: Ongoing online contact so you can ask questions, flag issues and adjust your plan as life changes.

Designed Around Your Dundee Cycling Goals

Every cyclist in Dundee has different ambitions. Some want to hang on longer on the fast weekend chaingang, others are targeting sportives across Scotland, and some simply want to feel fitter and more confident on local hills.

We’ll work backwards from your goals and use Dundee’s geography to support them:

  • Building climbing strength and repeatability using routes into the Sidlaw Hills and towards Glamis.
  • Using flatter sections along the Tay for time-trial style efforts and pacing practice.
  • Developing bunch skills and race awareness if you ride with clubs such as Dundee Wheelers or Dundee Thistle, or other local groups.
  • Structuring winter blocks with a smart mix of indoor work and shorter outdoor spins when daylight is limited.

Working with Clubs and Community Rides

Dundee has an active cycling community, and we see that as a strength. Rather than giving you a plan that ignores your club rides, we integrate them as key sessions. If your biggest weekly effort is the Saturday club run out over the Sidlaws, we’ll plan the days before and after so you arrive fresh enough to get quality work done, and then recover properly.

If you’re newer to club riding, we can use structured solo sessions to build the fitness and confidence you need to enjoy those faster, longer group days.

Online Coaching for Cyclists in Dundee and Beyond

Whether you live in Dundee itself or in nearby places like Broughty Ferry, Monifieth or Invergowrie, our coaching is delivered entirely online. That means your location never limits your access to structured, professional-level support.

You bring the commitment and the local knowledge of your favourite roads; we bring the training science, structure and accountability that turn those roads into a high-performance training environment.
