Rider Testimonials
KEVIN MCNALLY
"The Ride London Programme has been brilliant, I can’t believe how much I have come on in 8 weeks and I could never have tapped into that by riding my bike around the streets
I am absolutely knocked out by the results- I improved by 48 Watts which was massive and way above my expectations!
Big thanks to all the guys here because with the right people you can do the right things!"
LISA PRICE
"I cannot recommend Njinga enough! I have just finished the RideLondon plan and went on to produce the ride of a lifetime reducing last year's time of 5 hours 32 minutes to 5 hours 11 minutes. I now have the belief to reduce this time even further and take my cycling into new possibilities!"
SIMON HATHAWAY
"Working with Togo saw me destroy my century PB with a 4 hour and 15 minutes for the RideLondon 100 miles sportive, six weeks before the Etape du Tour. It has been an incredible few years working with Njinga and I know I have it in me to continue to achieve new milestones with the coaching and support from Togo.
Being told what not to do is sometimes more valuable than being told what to do.”
