Enduro, Cross-country, Cyclocross & Gravel

Hometown: Cranbrook

Hello! My name is Keely Hamilton and I am from Cranbrook in the East Kootenays. I am stoked to continue to be a part of this incredible program! I race cross-country mountain bike and gravel in the spring and summer, and cyclocross in the fall. I enjoy skiing and snowboarding in the wintertime as well. I work in a bike shop in town, called Northstar Bicycle Co, which has been such a great experience! I attend the University of Victoria.

I was an athlete in the program from 2021 to 2023. My first mentor in 2021 was Kim Shopland from Fernie, and my mentor for the 2022 and 2023 seasons was Julie Kelly, also from Fernie. I am so thankful for all that I learned from them; I was able to grow as a rider and racer thanks to the advice they shared with me.

I am very excited to be taking on this role as ambassador for my second year in a row, and I can’t wait to meet this year’s RLG athletes!

Is there anything in this upcoming season you are especially excited about?
Gravel Nationals in June and having completed my first year of university in engineering!
