Musings
October is nearly over and we have finally experienced our first weather break after a long hot summer. I'm sure we all prefer the cooler weather.
This past Saturday was a busy time to say the least. First we had the Ride for Pink sponsored by Cycle Werks Bike shop in Port St Lucie. The TCCA turnout was great. I would like to thank everyone who attended and supported a worthy cause as well thanking Chris for the invitation.
Following the Ride for Pink we had time to go home and prepare for the TCCA Costume Halloween Party at Cynthia and John Goings house in Palm City. Once again the turnout was great and it appeared everyone had a good time socializing, dancing, eating and consuming adult refreshments (never to excess).
Costumes were varied and some quite elaborate. If your interested you might want to check out the TCCA Facebook page which includes a picture of all of the costumes. The costumes were judged by a professional team of judges and several prizes were given to the contestants (prizes donated by the local bike shops -see below).
I would like to thank the following people and groups for making the Halloween Party a success:
Cynthia and John Goings for loaning us their home for 6 1/2 hours (Takes a leap of faith).
Club officers, Danielle, Kelly, Bill, Mike and Cynthia for planning, purchasing, decorating and
bringing everything together.
Javier for once again providing food and ice. Not sure what we'd do without him and Millers
Alehouse. Be sure and watch for the next social evening at Millers Ale House in Jensen Beach.
TCCA Bike Shop sponsors ( in geographic order from Dixie to the Union) who donated the prizes
for the costume contest.
Village Bike, Hobe Sound, Dawn
The Bike Shop, Stuart, Suzanne ad Steve
Bikes Plus, Palm City, Jeff
Beyond Bikes, Stuart, Julie and Brian
Bikes Plus, Stuart, Sebastian
Pro Cycles, Stuart, John
Cycle Werks, Port St. Lucie, Chris
These establishments all support the TCCA and they deserve our support by buying locally, after all its nearly impossible to get your bike fitted or repaired on the internet.
Thanks to everyone who attended the party, it seems like the TCCA attracts the best people I know.
Last but not least, thanks to all who took their time and effort to give the Goings back their home in much the
same condition as we found it.
I may have forgotten someone and if so please let me know in a gentle manner.
In closing lets not forget the Monday Fun Ride out of Beyond Bikes on 11/5/18 and the Slow Ride out of Village Bike on Tuesday 11/12/18. Check out their Face book page for ride details. Once again we need to support these people.
Also the next TCCA Holiday Ride will be Thanksgiving morning (we will be publishing the details on both Face book and the TCCA website).
Thanks Again,
Ron Gabriel

Hello fellow cyclists!
Team JHOP hopes you have circled your calendar for this years JHOP 100 on November 24, 2018.
Each year, we take your suggestions and try to make our event even better. This year, we will be giving awards to the Top 3 Clubs/Teams that bring the most participants. The award winners will be announced prior to the start. Also, the 75 mile ride will offer Top 5 Male and Female awards, instead of the Top 3 from previous years. We will no longer have Masters or Grand Master awards.
For the riders not up to riding 25+ mph, we will have group leaders for the 75 and 100 mile riders that will average 16 - 20 mph. This will help any headwind issues for the last 35 miles.
As in all previous JHOP 100 events, we will still have our rolling SAGS for lead groups, SAG stops every 20 miles, great post ride food by PioPio, massages, a timing clock AND multiple Osceola County Deputies on motorcycles to assist at intersections and escorting the lead groups.
Lastly, we have 30 JHOP Team members and members of the Cornerstone Be Fit class on hand to treat every cyclist like a winner!
See you there!
Best Regards,
Ken Junkins
Event Director
