Jules Fincham

Hailing from the flatlands of Essex, Jules became a mountain man, first through rock climbing, then as a ski instructor. This led to him becoming a multi-discipline tutor at Glenmore Lodge, Scotland’s National Outdoor centre, where he trained and assessed leaders in climbing, mountaineering, kayaking etc for many years. In the late 90s he became the first MTB tutor at Glenmore Lodge and set up the now thriving MTB department at the centre.

With his experience and lifelong passion for learning and coaching, Jules continues to be one of the top MTB coaches in the UK. Known as the coaches’ coach, he loves his work as he passes on leadership, coaching and biking skills to new generations of bikers, year on year.

A tutor with British and Scottish Cycling, he has been instrumental in the creation and continued development of the British Cycling awards.
