Keat joined SKCC around the end of 2014 after signing up to do a sprint distance triathlon having not ever ridden a road bike!  A colleague of Keat’s was a member of SKCC and suggested he join the club to get some experience and to learn how to properly ride on the road.

While the whole triathlon thing never quite took off, Keat fell very much in love with cycling and everything associated with it.  He started (literally!) from scratch, attending Alison’s rides on Friday. He then slowly progressed on to (at the time) Annie’s recovery Monday rides then onto Tearaway Tuesdays with Leann. While his time on the bike now fluctuates slightly due to a myriad of reasons, it’s something that well and truly integrated into his life.

Outside of cycling, Keat is a medical scientist working on heart research, runs from time to time, does lots of yoga, and happily admits he is a little bit of a fanboy when it comes to all things Star Wars.
