It has been an amazing month. 7 races over a 10 day period in 2 different states. I made my first trip to Wisconsin to race in the Tour of America’s Dairyland. The Tour of America’s Dairyland featured four straight days of racing four criterium courses in four different cities around southeastern Wisconsin. A criterium is a circuit race on a closed course in which we complete several laps over a 30 to 35 minute time period. I really...

No matter how hard I am training for my race season whether I am training for PossAbilities Paracycle Race Series at Redlands Bicycle Classic stage race or USA Paracycling Nationals. I always welcome the challenge of working the triathlon into my training...
This whole journey started about 5 years ago. I had been in a wheelchair for 18 years at this point. I was out of shape and needed to do something about it. I also wanted to get out there and feel myself in the wind as I did before, riding bikes and motorcycles in my youth. I bought a handcycle shortly after my injury, and I rode it from time to time. However, it mostly...

I was my first time doing Pensacola Cycling Classic stage race and considering the level of competition that showed up to race.

Mechanical issues and all. The first race was...
Aloha fellow Team PossAbilities supporters and enthusiasts!Today we're here to report about the Finals in Rotterdam. Everything about that race was tough: the weather, the course, the competitors. It was the same usual suspects, with varying degrees of disability (and unfairness in some cases as we know).After a smooth 10 hour flight from LAX to Amsterdam, I met with Team Brazil in the airport and we drove to Rotterdam. Beautiful 2 hour drive through green fields, a lot of...
Carrie Finale of Pacifica, a member of Team PossAbilities and a competitor in the handcycling competition at this weekend's Redlands Bicycle Classic.REDLANDS — To those of us with four healthy, functioning limbs, these cycles might look funny or weird at first glance. They’re long, low to the ground, meant for the rider to recline and not sit upright, and can be propelled by the hands just as well as by the feet. Maybe we’re the ones who should take a...
Matt McLeod, Redlands Daily Facts Redlands Daily Facts Posted: RedlandsDailyFacts.comREDLANDS -- It took months for Delmon Dunston to feel human again. The 33-year-old Riverside native will never forget the moment that first changed his life. The date was July 14, 2000, and Dunston was wrestling at a local gym when he shattered his C6 vertebra. It was an injury that would leave him unable to walk ever again. Cooped up inside his house, stuck inside a wheelchair he'd grown to hate, it wasn't until...
