Meet The Team
The Committee
KVG is run by a Committee of 7 elected members who all work as volunteers to manage the club on a day to day basis. Most positions are held for 3 years. The Committee meets monthly and welcomes member feedback at all times.
Janet
Chair Janet only started cycling during lockdown but since then has embraced every challenge that has come her way, including the epic ride that is Chase the Sun, three times, with sights set on CTS Ireland in 2026. As well as being Chair, Janet is chief cake maker, fuelling the Committee through their monthly meetings.
Helene
Vice Chair Helene joined KVG in 2013 as a newbie cyclist and was immediately hooked. What followed has been sportives and cycling adventures including Mallorca, LeJoG, MizMal, NC500, Channel to Med, the Kirkpatrick C2C… the list goes on. Cycling for the sheer pleasure and the freedom of it, all of it down to the inspiration, encouragement and friendship that is KVG

Club rides have opened up new cycling territory (and coffee stops) in Kent. She has been amazed and inspired by the many achievements of the club members and hopes to ride LEJOG next year.
Sarah
Membership secretary Sarah is the first point of call for new and prospective members and organises our regular induction sessions. Sarah was new to cycling and joined KVG in 2018 and cycling is now an important part of her life . As well as regular riding, she spends many holidays on her bike including cycling Sydney to Melbourne this year!
Andrea
Club Secretary Andrea joined KVG in 2016 after seeing a group of KVG riders tackling a hill in the sunshine, she thought this would be a great way to combine exercise and her love of the outdoors. She hadn’t ridden on the road for over 20 years, but loved the challenge and slowly improved her fitness. Now she loves taking on multi-day road trips with KVG friends, including LEJOG in 2025
Catherine
Social Media and Communications Secretary Catherine joined KVG in the autumn of 2021 and got to know many of the club members over the winter, through Discord and racing on Zwift! When it comes to riding outside, Catherine is happiest going uphill, and loves the long rides the club offers in the spring and summer.
KVG Limericks
There was a lady cyclist from Kent
‘I’m too slow’ was her only lament
She trained on her turbo
And found her speed mojo
In her pace she is now confident
There was a lady cyclist from Kent
Who loved the roads that were bent
Straight road were a bore
And the hills were a chore
But watch out for her on the descents!
Our Coaches
At KVG and KVB we have a number of members who have completed British Cycling coaching qualifications in order to support the Club and its members.
Bee Gregorie
President & Head Coach
British Cycling Level 3 (Road & TT)
Bee started coaching back in 2008, when it became clear that the newly formed KVG would need some skills and guidance in order to progress and develop as cyclists.
Now Bee works mainly with groups and individuals preparing for challenges, working on skills and specific fitness.
She feels great pride when she drives past groups of KVG all riding neatly in an egg box!
