About Paul
I've been coaching for over 15 years, ranging from complete beginners to National and World Championship Medallists, along with guiding riders to sign with World-Tour teams.
However, that is not what sets me apart.
I know what it is like when things do not go to plan, with illness, and other setbacks in my own cycling journey which spans over 40 years.
It has shaped how I coach: with honesty, realism and a genuine passion to help you succeed through the Winding Roads of life, on and off the bike.
No matter your level, if you want a coach who instinctively knows how to guide you through the highs and lows, and you're passionate about the sport - please get in touch.

Paul's "With you through every twist and turn"
How Coaching Works
As you can see from the testimonials, I like to really get to know my riders. That connection is at the heart of my coaching. It is made possible by the unlimited contact time I offer.
Your journey will start with a relaxed chat about your goals, both short and long term. If you are not sure what they are yet, it’s fine, we can work them out.
Using a platform called Training Peaks, I will build your training plan around you. Whether you are juggling work, family, or riding full-time, your sessions will fit into your life, not the other way round.
I set training one week at a time, this allows you to check your schedule/the weather forecast etc. and then let me know what your availability is.
Even with the best planning in the world, something will crop up, perhaps you are not feeling 100%, or life/work has got in the way. In this instance, drop me a message or give me a call, and I’ll reset your training session(s) as required.
I’ll provide you with clear and concise guided sessions, regular feedback, and ongoing communication to keep you moving forward through those twists and turns on and off the bike.
Josie Lori Millard
I came to Paul as a complete novice. When I say novice, I really do mean the very beginning - I'd bought a bike less than a year previous and after enjoying my first ever race that summer, I decided to take the leap and see how far I could get with gravel racing.
I chatted to Paul about my ambitious goals, and we made a plan. Fast forward 2 years and I've raced all over the world, from age group through to elite level. I've seen multiple podiums, qualified and raced the Gravel World Championships twice and progressed quicker than I ever thought possible.
Not a brag - A testament to Paul's invaluable knowledge and guidance!
The journey has not been straightforward. With illness and all the stress life can throw at you, Paul has been the constant. Always there, always supporting. Always looking for a solution and how to get the best from you. 'Coach' doesn't really do him justice. I can't thank him enough.
Ben Turner
Working with Paul at Winding Roads Coaching was a huge part of my development as a rider.
Through my junior and under-23 years, Paul helped me build structure in my training, balance road and cyclo-cross, and prepare properly for the biggest races.
His guidance and belief in me were a massive influence, from standing on the podium at the World Championships to taking the step up to professional.
Paul's approach kept me progressing every year and helped me reach the top.
Aaron Butler
I’ve gone from a complete novice to a competitive cyclist in under two years of training with Paul.
He has endless knowledge and passion and has guided me through every step, from understanding power numbers to fuelling and recovery.
What’s made the biggest difference is how brilliantly Paul tailors everything around my busy work week.
The sessions are structured so I can train hard but still recover properly and stay sharp for work.
I never feel overloaded or burnt out but have been consistently improving week after week.
He really understands how to get the best out of you, even when life is full on.
