About me...

Skills-Guiding is run by myself Phil Dowling, some people call me a Bike Geek…

I’ve been riding bikes for around 20 years (not including the stabiliser years!); I’ve always ridden extensively in my local area and pride myself in knowing the best routes around.

I’ve also taken part in numerous Enduro events all over the country including the Merida marathon series and have also completed Mountain Marathons. I’ve also completed 24 hour Solo & 12 hour solo events.
I’m also one of only 6 people to have ever completed the Transwales event Solo on a singlespeed. I’ve got other big Singlespeed challenges in my head as well

I’ve also worked for a local bike shop, so am trained in all things technical! I’ve also spent over 4 years as a member of a Mountain Rescue. I am a Level 2 MIAS instructor.

My main aim is to help you ride better, with more confidence and flow and make sure you have a cracking day out!

Phil
