The Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana hosted the handcycling races at the Indiana Stage Race last weekend and the event, as well as the racing, was first class all the way.
Standouts in the C1 category were David Randall and Brian Mitchell, who have been duking it out all season long, and both appear to have the talent to race internationally in the not-so-distant future. In the HCB Category, John Gilger (aka JSG) was the top guy all weekend and is making a late season comeback after a broken leg put him on the sidelines earlier in the season.
In the HCA race, newcomer Thomas Kahler won the all three races in close competition with crafty veteran, James Watson, and it was great to hear of exciting racing in all categories at the event.
The Indiana Stage race hosted handcycling for the 2nd year and the growth of the event signifies the success of the U.S. Handcycling series. The event featured just 5 athletes in 2006 and grew to 14 for 2007. Many athletes competed in other U.S. Handcycling series events earlier in the season, and the racing scene is growing thanks to organizations like the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana.
