Paracycling Nationals 2011

Two more photos this post and more below of the terrific competitors at the Australian Paracycling National Championships this weekend at the Sunshine Coast. Click on any photo to make it larger. There are quite a few different categories in cycling and handcycling. Some of the handcycles are low and fast F1 machines! They may be slow uphills but you won't catch them going downhill. The whole weekend is an inspiration and there is always a great camaraderie and WOW there are wheels everywhere on and off the track.
Some categories didn't have more than one rider this year. You can see in one of the photos the only two tricycles (the rest are handcycles) and behind there were some women waiting to start including Jing from Canberra. I have met her the last two years too. She has one leg but averaged about 28kph!
