I met Kevin 9 years ago in the Tri Store in Eastbourne; Kev talks about this himself in the podcast!! I have coached him for almost that length of time and essentially what has emerged for me is a really true friendship. Kevin is an incredible person, clear and open and sees through the 'madness' that can occur on this planet. He treads the path of a warrior of light - truly - this is how I see him. He displays incredible strength and tenacity in his sport, but also as a human being, when the going gets tough he steadies himself and digs in deeper. He really is a master in that all that he demonstrates out on his bike (his real love, although we have had other projects as he reveals!) he transfers to the way he does his dealings in life and with others. It is a privilege to know Kevin and more importantly to be his friend.
