Kristian House
Kristian House has over the past ten years won almost everything there is to win on the UK road scene. A genuine star of John Herety’s teams since first joining the Recycling.co.uk squad in 2006, Kristian has been an essential member of Rapha Condor Sharp since 2008.
After being born in Kent, Kristian moved to Austin Texas as a child. It was here with the Violet Crown cycling team that he discovered his love for cycling. His ambition soon brought him back to Europe to race though and he has never looked back since.
Kristian learned his trade racing in Belgium under former Tour De France star Michelle Pollentier for several years, before settling in the UK as part of the Great Britain endurance track team.
After some moderate success mixing track and road, Kristian decided to focus solely on road racing in 2006. The big results duly followed, Kristian has taken wins at the Lincoln Grand Prix, the Tour de Bretange, the Tour of Japan, the Premier Calendar and overall victory at the Ras in Ireland.
His biggest moment though came in 2009, when riding for Rapha-Condor, he beat off possibly the strongest field ever assembled to take out the National Road Race Championships in Abergavenny.
This crowning achievement was followed up with a stellar 2010. His impressive hard work ethic did the National Champions jersey proud, with wins in the Richmond G.P. Premier Calendar, the Tour Series, the National Circuit Series as well as the Edinburgh Nocturne.
In 2011 Kristian’s aggressive style will once again be a force to be reckoned with at any and all events the team takes part in.
Kristian House’s nickname ‘The Dude’ comes from his favourite film “The Big Lebowski”.
