OCTOBER 2026 - JIM BROMAN IS CYCLIST OF MONTH

Life can get in the way of cycling. Most of us experience this at some point. Work, travel, injury, illness or family issues. Rebounding from setbacks is hard. But how we get back in the saddle shows our dedication and grit.

Jim Broman is now displaying that type of dedication to cycling, after several years of dealing with challenging work schedules. For his efforts in his continuing comeback, Jim is SC’s Cyclist of the Month for October 2026.

Jim is a longtime Seminole Cyclist, one of our former ride leaders and certainly no stranger to our pelotons. But for the past few years we were seeing less of his smiling face because of work scheduling that stymied his ability to ride with consistency. Thankfully, a promotion at work has dramatically improved that obstacle, and he’s back on our pace lines on a regular basis.

Jim’s comeback has been impressive. He’s again riding 2-3 SC rides weekly, including Festive Tuesdays and our Signature Saturday A23-24 group. To further improve his fitness and endurance, he’s added on the Saturday long-long extended route.

If that’s not enough, he’s rejoined a few hill-climbing rides, too. That’s an appropriate choice for a guy who’s cranked through challenging ups and downs the past few years.

Our club is safer, stronger and more fun when “JimBro” is on board on his iconic light blue Trek.

On behalf of the SC Board of Directors, please join me in congratulating Jim Broman as our October Cyclist of the Month! He will receive a $20 gift card from a club sponsor of his choice, or $20 toward his fundraising for a charity ride.

Jim also receives a free entrance to the Nov. 15 

Florida Freewheelers Horrible Hundred Ride. Our SC Cyclist of the Year (Ana Soto) and our Cyclists of the Month for September (Liz Eleiny Matos) and November (TBD) will also receive complimentary admissions to the HH event. Thank you, Florida Freewheelers, for helping us recognize our special cyclists and for your support of our club!

Congratulations, Jim!
