Cycling Coach Ash Powell
With twenty years full-time coaching experience following a competitive career where he was once the 5th ranked professional road racer in the US, Ashley Powell has coached road, mountain, cyclocross, and triathlon; men and women; juniors to masters; rec-riders to state and national champions; from California to Carolina, New York to Italy. Most of his clients retain his services for two or more seasons, and their testimonials reveal a coach who respects, understands, and cares about his athletes, a refreshing change in an "industry" where clients have become numbers.
