Although we were all in different classes (Larry 50+, John CAT4, Mark, CAT5-45+, and Kevin 40+) it really seemed as if we were in just one class.

Cyclocross, in my mind, is a combination of mountain biking, road racing and sheer will to punish yourself in very chilly conditions, but Kevin Keane is able to do this with such style that it is impossible not to recognize it.
He began his training for CX days after his last road race.
He was also willing to train and coach others who are willing to endure this type of individual suffering.
Kevin finished the NJBA CX season in 3rd place this year out of 67 racers.
Way to go!!
In 2007, he won Best Master Racer of the year but this year Brian Gristick earned the status of Best Rider of the Year.
He is the most diverse racer Skylands Cycling has.
He races in Time Trials, Crits, Road races, Track, and Circuit races.
We just need him to race in Mountain and Cyclocross and then we could say he does it all.
But he too is a reserved rider/racer who will take the time to help others become better riders, whether it is for racing or recreational purposes.
He is a wealth of knowledge and more than willing to share.
He has also contributed to the club by once again being a board member.
His experience and input are invaluable on and off the bike.

With Milo Bastanelli in the Cat 3 Cup race, Kevin Keane and I were there to help any way we could.
...
Kevin rallied the peleton early in the race to pull back an early break and I later went to the front to pull back a mid-race break.
...
Kevin Keane was able to keep up while he rode with 60lbs of added weight, he had his 2 kids in the trailer behind him.
...
I am not sure how Lois and Kevin felt about it, but they remained calm.
...
The man who worked his fingers to the bone during each and every race was Kevin Keane.
He handled all the scoring and the video finishes.
It was amazing.
He was extremely efficient and determined for all 3 stages.
His spreadsheet is daunting but without it I don't know what we would have done.
...
Erik Kristiansen, Kevin Keane, Gene Victori, Brian Gristick all gave 100% to box in Glenn, pull or lead out Milo to his spectacular finish.
...
Gerry Ryerson and Kevin Keane gave up a race or two to help with scoring and videotaping.
