Classic Jersey Order Now Open

The order site for the GCC Classic Jersey is now open. Go to the Members Area, top of the third column. The Classic Jersey is only offered every three or four years. It is the original jersey of the Club, and has remained popular even as we've gone on to different Official Jerseys.

The price for a standard jersey is $37 plus shipping.

Consider adding a windjacket to your order ($41). You may find you use this more off the bike than on, and it's a great way to show the GCC colors around town.

Make sure you read the Information page before going to the Voler web site to place your order.

Festival News

by Roger Pierce

Registration is now open for non-members of the GCC for the Gainesville Cycling Festival. We'll have a sign up link set up by the end of this month for GCC members. It's particularly important for volunteers to wait until we have them signed up in the system before entering as we'll automatically provide your volunteer bennies when you sign up.

Labor Day Weekend, Enjoy one, two or three days of cycling in the gently rolling hills of Highlands County, excellent buffet lunch meals by Chef Mac, Ice Cream Socials, Door Prizes, etc. Riders will especially appreciate our low traffic roads, friendly motorists, citrus groves, cattle ranches, and small towns typical of rural Central Florida.
