Just make a variation on this statement, but instead of the starting with "quit" start with something like, "I need to move on, and I appreciate that you've helped me grow in my cycling. Lately, I've been frustrated. I like and respect you, but this relationship is not working for me."
Something to that effect. You don't want to torch this person, and you never know when you might need this person as an ally down the road. They might be a great coach for someone else. Whatever they are offering isn't what you need, now.
