David Reilly is celebrating cycling the 237-mile Caledonia Way to raise awareness for those with disabilities. David, who was born with cerebral palsy, said: ‘As a disability sports writer, I work to improve opportunities for disabled people to take part in outdoor sports.’ The 10-day expedition was supported by the charity Sustrans Scotland.
As part of the ride, David stopped in Oban and met with Niall Shannon, a representative from Oban Disability Access Panel, and Sustrans Scotland network engagement manager Tom Bishop to discuss the challenges faced in making the route accessible and inclusive. Tom said: ‘We are really proud of David and what he has achieved by cycling all 237 miles of the Caledonia Way, especially with all the challenges he has faced, from the weather to the difficulty of some of the sections of the route.’
