Sean McCoy, Owner Sierra Cycling Training and Coaching

I began my racing career at the age of 4 in the sport of BMX. I raced as an Expert BMXer from the age of 8 to 16. At the same time that I was racing, I began competing as an amateur surfer. At the age of 21, when the sport of mountain biking was emerging, I competed in both downhill and cross-country events. I joined the staff of Mountain Bike Action Magazine in 1989 as an official tester and staff writer for the magazine.

In 1992, I left the magazine’s staff to pursue my dream of becoming a professional surfer in Hawaii. I became Hawaii’s fifth-ranked professional longboard surfer and was 10th in the world. In 1995, I returned to California, where I rejoined the staff of Mountain Bike Action Magazine.

I have over 40 years of experience in cycling, spanning roles as a racer, coach, and mentor. I enjoy teaching others how to achieve their goals and fulfill their dreams.”
