Meet a Blind Rider in This Year’s Cycle for Sight

Jack Veliquette, 17, from Windsor, California, is taking on the challenge of Cycle for Sight for the second year in a row. He’s upping his game and instead of riding 25 miles like he did last year, he’ll be riding 50 – tackling the slopes of Mt. Veeder.

This high school sophomore has been a camper at Enchanted Hills Camp for the Blind since he was seven years old. Last summer, he gave back to the camp that he loves by becoming a counselor in training (CIT). He intends to be a CIT again this year.

When asked what motivated him to ride and raise money for Enchanted Hills Camp, Jack said, “Tony asked my mom if I’d be interested. I said ‘I’ll give it a shot.'”
