Incight's Joy in Mobility Handcycling Team, 11-30-2012

I had the privilege and pleasure of riding with Incight's Joy in Mobility Handcycling Team this morning. It is a new team thanks to Incight being able to provide handcycles to interested riders.
Today's ride was a first road ride for the team as they get used to their equipment, http://connect.garmin.com/activity/248095461 .

I had a very interesting meet-up and chat with John this morning. He is an ex-racing cyclist from northern Ireland who has raced in Europe and the U.S. He was very helpful in making suggestions for me in my pursuit of acquiring a mountain bike. Thanks John.

End of the pavement on West Garnet Rd.  This road spur has been resurfaced.  It would be so nice as a cycling loop if the road was paved all the way to the Whitewater Cut Off, which is probably less than a mile away.  I used a break in the fencing to access the Hwy 62 on-ramp and I rode 62 north to Dillon Rd.
