Athlete Service is owned and run by Rob Griffiths with a great team of experienced mechanics and coaches. Based in Henley-on-Thames around 30 miles west of London Athlete Service was set up in 2007 to provide reliable, top class bike servicing and setup to local athletes with initial demand from top class rowers in the area and helping groups of cyclists including helping to establish the local cycling club GS Henley. We have grown from strength to strength over the past 10+ years and now we stock a wide range of top cycling and triathlon brands as well as an "endless pool" for swim coaching and a social cafe area. We can now offer a large range of services but our main selling point is friendly, honest, impartial advice on bikes and equipment, bike setup, technique and coaching.
Rob is a former international lightweight rower, turned top amateur cyclist and triathlete. He has achieved top 30 results in numerous European sportives including La Marmotte numerous times and spent a number of years guiding groups in the Alps. On UK turf he has held nearly every local TT record. As he transitioned into Ironman, he achieved top 30 results overall in Switzerland, Wales, Lanzarote, Nice and South Africa, qualifying three times for for the World Championships in Kona. In 2011 he achieved the top UK amateur result of 42nd overall (5th in age group) in a time of 9 hours one minute. He now has a young family and struggles to do 10% of the training he used to, but now fully understands the demands and pressures of the time-crunched club cyclist or age group triathlete and is happy to pass on as much knowledge and experience as he can both in terms of kit, bike setup and training in order to enjoy and get the most of time training and racing.
The aim of Athlete Service is to provide a complete service to athletes at all levels in cycling and triathlon to improve all aspects of performance, but most importantly enjoyment of sport through better bike setup, training and kit.
