GEO MORALES IS CYCLIST OF THE MONTH Everyone likes a friendly, supportive rider, someone who shows up regularly, with a smile and kind words. Someone who encourages you to push harder and longer simply through cheerful tenacity.That’s the kind of teammate Geo Morales is. And that is why Geo is the Seminole Cyclists Cyclist of the Month for August. Geo has been an SC regular for years. You might see him on the Tuesday or Wednesday evening rides, and he frequently group rides both days on weekends. But it’s on Signature Saturdays where Geo truly stamps himself as a positive, loyal teammate. Geo typically rides the Saturday 23-24 mph group, a challenging A-level ride that provides little quarter, even on the hottest or windiest days. In this type of pace line, suffering and at your limit, it is affirming to look over and see a gritty rider like Geo working equally hard, churning out the same effort. He cheerfully does his turns in the wind at the front of our lines, keeping a steady, swift pace. Even after that, Geo frequently joins Saturday’s long-long crew for the optional endurance miles. Dedicated cyclists like Geo make us all better riders. He follows our club rules, reinforcing our safety protocols simply through his predictable riding habits. And he will step into leadership roles, when needed. Please join me in congratulating Geo as our Cyclist of the Month for August. He will receive a $20 gift card to an SC sponsor of his choice, or $20 toward his fundraising for next year’s Tour de Cure. Congratulations, Geo! Upcoming events
