Who am i?
Hi my name is Kim Bent and I race BMX in women's 30 plus cruiser category.
I have been racing bikes on and off for the last 10 years, but I started racing downhill mountain biking and then moved across to mountain bike 4x and completed some cycle speedway races too. After some time I decided to try my hand at BMX racing on a 24 inch wheel bike (cruiser) and really enjoyed it. I have not looked back since and all my racing now is BMX.
In previous years I have held the National series winner title and the British Champs title, and have gained 2nd and 5th in 2 World Championship events.
I had last season off racing due to injury but am trying to make a come back for the 2014 race season. I am a secondary school teacher and a mother of a 3yr old which makes my training and my rest of life jobs a bit of a juggling game!
I enjoy the challenge that it presents though and am looking forward to the season ahead. I would like to use this site to keep everyone up to date with my racing and training in my quest to get a world ranking! Please feel free to comment or contact me - it would be great to hear from you!!
Kim
