National Cycling Centre Hamilton introduces
para-cycling
February 22, 2015 - An event dubbed ‘Try It On,’ is the first invite of its kind for the disabled and visually impaired who want to one day put rubber to the road for fun or maybe a medal around their neck.
The Shelley Gautier Foundation along with the NCCH want to create a “feeder” system for para-sports in Canada.
The cycling centre hopes events these boost awareness for all para-sports and provide a place for the natural camaraderie shared among the cyclists. Read more by visiting CHCH website.
