Looking for something different to do this weekend? You might want to check out the Para cycling national championships being held in the area.
Para cycling involves racing bikes with special adaptations to account for someone's different ability. Those with limited vision will pair up with a sighted person on a tandem. Those who can't move their legs will power themselves with their hands and arms. Some ride specially designed tricycle that look nothing like the clunkers with baskets. This video gives you an over view. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TPPfiTS9nQ The time trials will be on a course between Waterloo and Marshall on Friday while the road race will be near Rockdale on Saturday. The Crit will be on the Square on Sunday. Note that the crit is for people who ride standard looking bikes that might have some modifications. Check out the website below for more information about the races. http://www.usacycling.org/2014/amateur-road-para-nationals Steve Meiers Safety educator (608) 267-1102 Box 2986 Madison WI 53701 [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>
