Cannonballs Cycling Team

Cannonballs Cycling Team We ride for the fun of it and reap the rewards of exercise, friendly competition and camaraderie. From there, the group has grown to include 100+ members.

Established:
1993

Foundation:
The Cannonballs Cycling Team is a group of individuals from different facets of the community representing different races, sizes, ages, and riding abilities. The main thing we all have in common is the enjoyment of riding bicycles. The Cannonballs Cycling Team was formed in 1993 by a small group of riders who wanted to start a team to participate in the MS 150 Break

away-to-the-Beach Ride. We are mainly road bike riders, with a riding season extending from April through October. The ATB (All Terrain Bike) and GB (Gravel Bike) members ride throughout the year. Being Cannonballs means we make a commitment to better those who ride with us as well as ourselves. We discourage riding alone, as riding is best enjoyed when someone is with you to share in the fun. All of our planned rides are group rides, whether it’s two or twenty; no one rides alone. Riding on a frequent basis is highly encouraged, and therefore we plan three rides a week. We enjoy the company of one another, and therefore we have planned social events throughout the year. We also participate in and promote bicycling awareness through bicycling safety rodeos for children in the community. Our Founding Team Members:
William (Bill) Brown
Everette Cook
Rob Fuller
John Huffman
Dempsey Miller

Is the cycling group ride dead?

There was a time when group rides weren’t just about speed or Strava segments.

They were about belonging, mentorship, and learning the unwritten rules that transformed a bunch of riders into a cohesive peloton.

Today, that tradition is fading. Too often, group rides feel chaotic—like a race, not a shared experience.

In the past, experienced riders would pass down their knowledge, teaching newer cyclists the art of holding a steady line, rotating smoothly, and reading subtle signals.

It was about creating a safe, respectful environment where every rider contributed to the group’s rhythm.

The ride was a school, and the goal was to be part of a collective, not the strongest individual.

But now, we see less mentorship and more riders focused solely on performance. The result? A breakdown in group etiquette—overlapping wheels, inconsistent pacing, endless shouts of “hole!” for minor bumps, and gaps that leave half the group sprinting to catch up.

If you’re an experienced rider, consider taking on a mentorship role.

Ride next to someone new, pass down those core skills, and show that cycling is about community as much as competition.

Let’s revive the tradition of group riding as a place to learn and grow, not just to flex fitness or ego.

Next time you’re on a group ride, remember: the goal isn’t to prove you’re the fastest but to ride with skill, respect, and teamwork.
