kieth kelly has been posting on his cycling build up and has now joined usa cycling and is on a team for 2009, all of this to compliment his return to running at some point once his knee is sorted out. i have been helping him with some intervals for his training and overall structure for his time on the bike. wish him all the best as i think the freshness of a new sport is lighting a fire under his ass.....
