Learn to Race Cycling Development Camp, September 6 - 13, 2013
 
In partnership with Disabled Sports USA (DSUSA), U.S. Hand cycling (USHF)
and U.S. Paralympics, the United States Association of Blind Athletes
(USABA), will host a "Learn to Race" Cycling Development Camp for riders
with physical disabilities at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado
Springs, Colorado, from September 6 - 13, 2013.

 

If your goal is to become an Elite Paralympic Cyclist, or you want to
explore bike racing opportunities in the U.S. this camp is for you!
 
Athletes must fall under one of the UCI (Union Cycliste International)
sanctioned classifications. Athletes must also possess the fitness and
equipment necessary to complete the week-long cycling camp.  

 

Disabled Veterans and Active Duty Service Members are strongly encouraged to
attend! Grant funding for this program is awarded by U.S. Paralympics, a
division of the U.S. Olympic Committee, through funding provided by Veterans
Affairs. The grants are provided to facilitate the growth of Paralympic
sport programming for disabled Veterans and disabled members of the Armed
Forces.

 
Cyclists will learn bike handling skills, safe riding techniques, and road
racing strategies.  Athletes will ride twice per day, and will average
between 150-180 miles for the week. Riders will practice skills, engage in
race simulations and have nightly classroom discussions.
