Cyclists needed for para nationals
Quote | Reply
Jess!, one of our lovely STers and now professional cyclist with Vanderkitten, has asked for help recruiting female cyclists to pilot tandem bikes for several blind female cyclists at para nationals in Madison next month.

As she says:

"It is so sad to think of these blind athletes wanting to compete and being prevented from doing so because they can't find a captain."

If you think you can help or know someone who can, contact Pam Fernandes: pamala @ quikus.com and Simon Bennett: simon @ greevillcyclingcenter.com

Please spread the word!

That is so cool - I wish I was closer and could help. I hope they can find people to help these corageous atheletes!!

I'm also excited to see Vanderkitten on my birthday charity ride here in CA - the Canary Challenge.

 I vote we all find a reason to post on Jen's post on this on the main forum to keep bumping it up and on the front page. ;-)

Jen-

I have found several people who are interested in helping but the emails include in your original post all bounce back. Any way to get in touch with Jess and confirm.

Thanks!!

His is her status in casw I typed it wrong

Hey amateur lady cyclist friends! the United States Association of Blind Athletes is seeking female pilots to captain tandem bikes for several blind female cyclists at para nationals in Madison next month. It is so sad to think of these blind athletes wanting to compete and being prevented from doing so because they can't find a captain. If you think you are able to help or know someone who can, please spread the word and contact Pam Fernandes at pamala@quikus.com and Simon Bennett at simon@greenvillecyclingcenter.com. I would do it myself but am barred due to my professional status. Thank you!!! might have typed them wrong.

Do you need to have ridden a tandem before? I know a few people who might be able to help, but none has tandem experience...
