EVENTS
Developmental Cycling Camp
A unique developmental cycling camp will be offered at the U.S. Olympic Training Center for riders with
disabilities. The U.S. Association of Blind Athletes (USABA), in collaboration with U.S. Hand Cycling (USHC)
and Disabled Sports USA (DS/USA) is hosting the U.S. Developmental Cycling Camp for Riders with
Disabilities at the U.S. Olympic Training Center, September 23-28 in Colorado Springs, CO. Although the
camp is hosted by USABA, it is a cross-disability training camp and athletes with CP, head injuries, spinal
cord injuries and amputations are encouraged to apply.
Cyclists ages 16 and older with physical disabilities will learn bike handling skills, safe riding techniques
and road racing strategies. Instruction in Track riding will also be provided at the velodrome. Athletes
eligible for participation include: blind and visually impaired cyclists and their sighted partners, who ride
tandem bikes; cyclists with lower mobility impairments who use hand cycles; cyclists with cerebral palsy or
head injury who use both standard bikes and tricycles; and amputee cyclists who ride either single bikes or
hand cycles. A special invitation is being extended to military servicemen and women who have
encountered disabilities from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom who want to learn
to race.
There are only 30 slots open for this unique opportunity. Those interested should complete the application
and return ASAP.
Please send your applications by August 1, 2008. Electronic format is preferred and can be sent to Pam
Fernandes, Camp Coordinator at pamala@quik.com
