The mission of the Tradewind Cycling Team is to promote competitive bicycle racing in the State of Hawaii. We acknowledge that sportsmanship, teamwork, commitment, dedication and support for one another are the hallmarks of a successful cycling team.

We believe in the core values of being:

• Inclusive – we welcome other competitive cyclists and cycling supporters to be part of our team and participate in our activities
• Respectful – we respect each other and embrace diversity as the core of our strength as a team
• Enthusiastic – we are enthusiastic promoters of our team, our sponsors and competitive cycling
• Active – we are active in team activities riding and racing with the team whenever we can, attending team events and volunteering for cycling-related events
• Good Examples – we know that by sharing the road with other users, riding safely and being good sports in-competition we further the cause of cycling

Tradewind Cycling Team (TCT) was founded in 1989 with 7 members. The other name that had been considered for the team was Tropical Top Tubes. Thank goodness Tropical Top Tubes lost out! Current membership is now 75. Tradewind Cycling Team is a USCF licensed bicycle racing team. In the effort of promoting the sport of bicycle racing in Hawaii TCT sponsors several races during the year including the Tauntalus Time Trial, the longest continuously-running bicycle race in Hawaii and the brand-new Kauai Stage Race along with other smaller races.

Membership is open to all bicyclists and supporters who are interested in bicycle racing and are planning and/or willing to volunteer at team sponsored events. Being active in the club is a requirement of membership. We all lead busy lives with many obligations both at work and home and we know that the vast majority of the members will not be at every ride or event, but members should make an effort to participate in activities as often as possible during the course of the year. Membership applications are subject to review and acceptance by the membership committee.
