Long time Fasthouse friend Keith Ketterer breaks the Masters World Hour Record.
From Giant Press release:
“Ketterer set a new World Hour Record in the 50-54 age group, riding 45.386 kilometers – that’s 28.2015 miles – in one hour. The old record was 44.890 kilometers, or 27.8933 miles.
The new record involved rocketing more than 180 laps around the velodrome at a pace that most professional bike riders – including those much younger than the 53-year-old Ketterer – would find impossible.”

Keith has a long, winning history as a mountain bike and road racing legend. He managed the Diamondback U.S. Mountain Bike Team in the 90′s, which led to World and National Championships. He coached Susan DeMattei to a Bronze medal at the first ever Olympic Mountain Bike event in Atlanta in ’96. He also discovered the insanely talented Cadel Evans, who is now a top Tour de France contender.
Congratulations KK!
