JMC’s Black Men Bike Is Back. For the second year in a row, John A. Merritt Classic, in Partnership with CKDO Sport, Presents: Black Men Bike.  Coach “Big John” Merritt’s commitment to Nashville was unwavering. He loved his players. He loved sportsmanship. He loved this community. And more than anything, he cared about the wellbeing of everyone around him.  For the 2025 John A. Merritt Classic, this ride symbolizes the power of Black men showing up for our health and our mental wellness, through the healing power of movement. Seeking to make lifestyle choices that uplift the next generation. This is brotherhood in motion. Sportsmanship in action. Legacy on wheels. Because when men ride together, we rise together.
