Join us for the 2018 PDX Summer Handcycling Series. Come handcycle every Tuesday from 5–6 p.m. at the Portland International Raceway, July 10 through September 25! Never tried it before? You might fall in love with it. And if you do, you can apply for a grant from the Kelly Brush Foundation or the Challenged Athletes Foundation to buy your own handcycle.

Handcycling is an awesome way to exercise outdoors. It clears your head and boosts your endorphins. I love it because it lets me break free from my wheelchair for a bit. I get to move through the world with speed and power. There’s no better time to feel that rush than summertime in the Pacific Northwest!

Adaptive Sports Northwest (ASNW) runs one of the biggest handcycling clinics in the region. This popular event gives you free access to 15–20 different handcycles and the 2-mile Portland International Raceway. Trained volunteers can help you transfer into or out of a handcycle if you’re unsure about doing it alone. They also provide cold drinks and snacks to keep your energy up. Whether you’re new to handcycling or already love it, spread the word and join dozens of riders at PIR this summer!
