Pioneer pedalling: Auburn woman is first blind cyclist in the Great Race
AUBURN — Even though Alice Jordan can only see less than 10% of her field of vision, that doesn't stop her from painting and collecting work from other artists. The walls of her Auburn home are adorned with them.
And her vision loss didn't stop Jordan, 70, from becoming the first blind person to bike in the annual Great Race. On Aug. 11, she and her cycling partner, Jim Kleiber, rode a reclining tandem bicycle for 10 miles on country roads in the town of Owasco to complete the cycling portion of the relay race.
