High-quality cycle coaching built around intelligent training, clear structure, and professional judgement. We focus on how you train, review progress regularly, and adapt your programme to support sustainable fitness, consistency, and long-term performance development.
Coaching that goes beyond training into performance and execution. This package adds race planning, decision-making, and performance context, helping riders focus and apply fitness effectively, performing better when all the elements come together in competitive race situations.
Strategic coaching delivered directly by Ride Revolution’s principal coach, Jake Hales. This programme focuses on high-level decision-making, prioritisation, and long-term performance direction, offering experienced oversight and clarity for athletes who value judgement as much as training.
Bespoke Performance Projects is an opened ended package designed for situations that don’t fit neatly into monthly coaching. This might include short-term race preparation, event-specific planning, advisory work, or targeted performance support for entire teams or individuals.

South Dakota–Specific Training Focus Areas
Training in South Dakota requires a strong emphasis on aerobic durability and mental resilience. Our plans prioritise steady-state power development and fatigue resistance to suit long flat and rolling routes where riders spend extended periods at consistent intensity. Wind exposure is addressed through cadence control, aerodynamic efficiency and disciplined effort execution.
Seasonality also plays a major role. Winter base training is structured around indoor sessions that preserve aerobic fitness and power, ensuring riders are ready to capitalise on the limited but highly productive outdoor riding season. As conditions improve, training transitions toward longer endurance rides and event-focused preparation.
South Dakota Cycling Events & Signature Challenges
Ride Revolution supports riders preparing for recognised South Dakota events such as the Tour de Hills, local gravel endurance events, charity rides and long-distance personal challenges across prairie and Black Hills routes.
Our structured approach ensures riders arrive at these challenges with the fitness, confidence and consistency required to perform strongly in exposed and demanding conditions.
