Rider Profile: Rhys Kenny

Our most recent race winner, Rhys ‘have you seen the size of my trophy’ Kenny is next up on the chopping block for his rider profile;

BIO:

I have been cycling since around 2011, but only joined the club in 2014. I started racing that summer but only really started taking it seriously from the start of last year. Among my highlights in cycling are the Errigal youth tour last year, and getting my first win recently at the Paddy Flanagan memorial in Kildare. I’m really looking forward to the Junior tour this year as all of my previous experiences in stage races have been positive. The field will be the best that I have competed against so far in my career and I’m looking forward to seeing what I can do against them.
