As you know, late last year the Cobourg Cycling Club Board of Directors overwhelmingly agreed to organize a road race and time trial for the upcoming Northumberland Para Games for Hand Cycling. This commitment also includes a training camp leading up to the event. We agreed to support both events with volunteers.

Next week, Tuesday May 27,  Wednesday May 28 and Thursday May 29 the National Para Sport coaches, in conjunction with the Cobourg Cycling Club will hold a camp for the competitors. There are 19 para sport athletes listed for attendance. Volunteers will “marshal” the hand cyclists by providing a visual component to their work and a result we need to provide a minimum of 6 riders each day of the camp.
