Kris Keim, k2 as she is called by her close friends is recovering from a crash sustained while racing a stage race in early spring. She has settled to recover in the warmth of her parents’ home and while there she cranked out an interview with TripleCrankset.com

The interview came about when Leonard Basobas contacted her wanting to chat about racing a full NRC schedule; however, after the crash the request took a different turn and was interviewed on the need to market women racers. Although, multiple advancements have been made a huge gap between women’s payouts and support still remains in the race offerings.

When healthy, Kristen (k2) spends her time performing double duty by racing for Team Kenda Tire and the United States Women Cycling Development Program (USWCDP). As a role model for women racers, Kristen also “cranks” out news and marketing material for the USWCDP in an effort to reach a broader audience.
