Biography
Ian Whitehead born
9th April 1964 in
Gravesend, Kent.
He joined his local Cycling Club, Gravesend CC, in
1978. The club has since awarded him the honour of life membership and vice
president. He formed Renners RT in 1993 to give club level riders
the opportunity of racing in Europe and higher profile races in
Britain. The team folded in 2000 when he joined his current club
Kingsnorth International Wheelers. The club is based in Belgium and
was set up in the early 90's by his good friend and importer of Nico
Sport clothing, Peter Murphy, to give riders from commonwealth
countries a base for continental racing.
Apart from Kingsnorth, Ian is
very much involved in taking youth and junior riders from the UK to
race in Belgium with the South East team, an opportunity they would
not normally get with their own clubs. In 2008 the British Cycling
South East Region awarded him a badge of honour in recognition
of this.
Ian also works voluntary as a
mentor for students at his local schools on behalf of the Bromley
Education and Business Partnership. This tireless work was
recognised by Bromley EBP when in 2003 they presented him with an
award for his achievements.
Ian keeps busy all year round
with Kingsnorth, the South East team, and in the winter has
engagements for after dinner speaking.
