Led by Kelly Brush, Handcyclists line up for the start of the Kelly Brush Century Ride in Middlebury on Saturday. The seventh annual ride through the Champlain Valley drew over 700 riders and volunteers including 24 adaptive athletes using handcycles. The event supports the Kelly Brush Foundation raising funds for spinal cord injury prevention and adaptive sports equipment grants. The ride also supports the 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)
