2022 NWCC Leadership Elections

The Northwest Cycling Club (NWCC) 2022 Leadership Election voting has closed. Here are the election results. Congratulations to all.

For those just starting to explore group rides or for those who want a casual pace, we recommend our Saturday Coffee Rides. Check out the Thursday night Spring Creek Greenway rides, too. For those ready to tackle something longer, and faster (maybe even a lot faster), come out to the Hockley Community Center on Wednesday mornings and/or Zube Park on Saturdays.

From the President

Carl Jones Awarded USAC Junior Coach of the Year 2022!

On November 10th at 6:30pm during the weekly junior training session the normal workout was interrupted as Coach Carl and those present took a zoom call from USAC during which Carl Jones was awarded the USAC Junior Coach of the Year award for 2022! Something anyone who knows him will fully acknowledge that he deserves!

Thanksgiving meals to students and their families

Yesterday, NWCC officers were very happy to hand over a check for $500 to the Community Youth Specialists of Harris County supporting the families of Waller ISD. This money goes towards providing Thanksgiving meals to students and their families based on their socioeconomic status.

Pictured are Troy Ottmer, NWCC Treasurer, Audrey Cancino, Youth Specialist, Amy Smith, incoming NWCC VP, and Geoff Donnelly, NWCC President.

We wish all families of the Waller ISD a Happy Thanksgiving.

Barnyard Buddies

A big “Well Done!” to Carl Grasshoff and the gang who volunteered at the Barnyard Buddies event at Waller County Fairgrounds today, during which we all helped young people with disabilities to have a great time. There was a petting zoo, games, rides and grub. And joy.

In the photo we have, left to right, Al Pitre, Craig Angaroni, Mark Skeete, Teresa Foshee Cardamone, Tom Miller, Barbara LeBas Wu, Carl Grasshoff, Samuel Wu, Sid Trest, Robert Patin, Tim Hopper and Amy Smith, with me holding our cheque donating $500 to the leading lady of the event. Thanks also to Mark’s wife Rosemary and Carolyn Carolyn Smith Pfennig, who unfortunately both missed the photo.

It was a very worthwhile day!
