Over the weekend, dozens of para-cyclists from across the country — including numerous national champions and U.S. Paralympians — competed in both individual and team track events. The competition also served as a qualifying event for the 2018 Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) Para-cycling Track World Championships in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
