Hand cycling as part of CTC

UK hand cycling is a fascinating new sport.
Cyclists traditionally have weak shoulders and upper body assuming they do not do other sports to compensate.

Hand cycles and hand cranked cycles either with two wheels or three and even tandems are now state of the art.

There is a European association, a British cycle fest in august (Castle Coombe).

Does CTC have a sub committee of any sort
for this kind of cycling or wheel chairing?

Speeds of 35-40mph are achieved by the racers.
