This is what it's all about! Such a great wrap up to our spring block with the Race & Rise teams and their families!
These riders put so much time in on their bikes developing their skills and fitness, and the result is amazing to watch. Couldn't be more proud of all these young athletes.
From all the coaches, thanks for an amazing season so far, and for being the best community we could hope for. It's a privilege to get to coach you and watch you grow as riders and people! 🙌⚡-Pat
Huge thank you to for being behind the lens to capture some moments from our big team ride yesterday!

Patrick Nolan (Owner+Head Coach) has been working as a coach and instructor since 2008 and brings over a decade of experience and expertise to the trails. Creating Nolan Riding was his response to an expressed need by his community. Circa 2013 friends and families were asking for professional and high quality cycling and mountain bike instruction and coaching, and with his background in coaching, MTB riding/racing, and youth programs it was a perfect time to launch Nolan Riding. Many of his original clients are still riding with him today, and some of them have even become part of the coaching team!
Vision:
Nolan Riding’s vision is to continually help grow and build the developing mountain bike community on Vancouver Island. Through excellence in our coaching, positive role modelling both on and off the bike, and a passion for sharing the outdoors with people, we serve our community as exceptional ambassadors to the sport of mountain biking.
Services:
NR is proud to offer professional mountain bike instruction, coaching, and guiding services. Our head coach Patrick is certified by the Professional Mountain Bike Instructor's Association (PMBIA), the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP), and earned a degree in Sport and Fitness Leadership from Camosun/PISE.
Patrick and his team of PMBIA certified coaches deliver year round coaching and instructional services on the South Island in communities from Sooke to the Cowichan Valley. We operate at the following trail networks: Harbourview; Hartland; Coble Hill; Mount Tzouhalem; and Maple Mountain.
