CHRIS OPIE CYCLING EXPERIENCES

who am i?

My name is Chris Opie. I am an ex-professional cyclist, 5 times Guinness World Record holder, qualified coach, experienced mentor, presenter and fan of all things two wheels.

Cycling has shaped my entire life, from my first rides with Truro Cycling Club in 1997 to racing professionally around the world, my passion has always been simply to ride—any bike, any speed, anywhere. Since retiring from professional competition in 2018, I’ve dedicated myself to coaching, athlete mentoring, and guiding riders and athletes of all levels.

With seven years in media, extensive coaching experience, and a deep knowledge of the local road networks, my goal is to create unforgettable cycling experiences. Whether it’s on a road bike, gravel bike, mountain bike, a motorcycle, or even a penny farthing, I love sharing the freedom and joy of two wheels.

WHY CYCLING?

Cycling has been the gift of a lifetime to me. Every experience I have had, every friendship, every job, every move. Everything in my life today is a direct consequence of the journey cycling has taken me on.

I want to share this with others, passing on my knowledge, expertise and passion with anyone, on any type of bike, on any type of ride or with any level of fitness.
