Cyclist of the Month - November 2025
LOPES IS CYCLIST OF MONTH
Our newest Cyclist of the Month is a familiar face on SC rides. He has been riding strongly with us since 2009, and he has been a generous club sponsor and loyal member of our peloton, always there with an encouraging word or a witty remark that adds to our fun.
Please congratulate Paul Lopes as the Seminole Cyclists’ Cyclist of the Month for November 2025!
Paul is a motivator. He motivates through words and, more so, through his actions on the bike. Ride with Paul and you will almost certainly be inspired to take a longer pull, hang onto to a tough pace into a headwind, or just push yourself past your usual comfort zone. Paul is the embodiment of Rule No. 5.
Paul’s grit on the bike is not his only tool. His dry sense of humor is top notch. On most rides, he’ll uncork a well-timed zinger that will have you laughing enough to forget some of the pain he’s helping inflict. It’s side-splitting suffering.
Paul is also colorful. Quite literally. Frequently, he’ll don some of the most bold and vibrant kits we see in our lines. Tropic and South Florida art-deco colors are favorites on his sartorial palette. It’s Miami Nice!
Paul’s contributions to SC extend beyond the bike. His company, Ability Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, has been a longtime SC sponsor. And Paul supports numerous club-affiliated events such as the Tour de Cure at Lake Nona and our club’s twice-a-year parties, in addition to regularly riding 3-4 SC rides a week.
Please join me in congratulating Paul as our November Cyclist of the Month. He will receive a $20 gift card to an SC sponsor of his choice, or $20 toward his fund raising for the 2026 Tour de Cure.
Congratulations, Paul!
