Led by Kelly Brush, handcyclists start the Kelly Brush Century Ride Powered by VBT Bicycling and Walking Vacations in Middlebury on September 8. The seventh annual ride through the Champlain Valley drew over 700 riders and volunteers including 24 adaptive athletes using handcycles. The event raised $250,000 for spinal cord injury prevention and adaptive sports equipment grants. The ride also supports the Kelly Brush Foundationâs mission to improve ski racing safety. The ride has grown to be the stateâs largest charity ride and is one of the best attended events in the Northeast for adaptive athletes using handcycles. (Photo by Rajan Chawla Photography)
