"I've only encountered a few people that I would pay to coach me, but John Verheul is definitely one of them. Not only is he an inveterate student of the sport of cycling, with experience in many different aspects (e.g., road, cyclocross, track), he is an excellent teacher as well. If you want someone as your coach who will do more than just provide a "cookie cutter" training program, John is your man."
