Kelly Brush Century Ride

September 7, 2019

The 14th annual Kelly Brush Century Ride in Middlebury, Vermont, is a scenic bicycle ride through the Champlain Valley. It has evolved from a dozen cyclists to the largest fundraising ride in the state. The ride is also one of the best attended events in the Northeast for adaptive athletes using hand-cranked handcycles. The ride raises money to support the Kelly Brush Foundation’s multi-faceted mission, including improving ski racing safety, enhancing the quality of life for those with spinal cord injury (SCI) through adaptive sports equipment grants, advancing scientific research on SCI, and supporting the U.S. Adaptive Ski Team. Enter as a fundraising team or as individuals riding distances of 10, 20, 50 or 100 miles.
