Festival News

The Gainesville Cycling Festival is early this year, there are just seven more weeks before we ride!

We're now accepting registrations for the Festival, which includes The Orthopaedic Institute Santa Fe Century on October 19 and the Horse Farm Hundred on October 20. Sign in to the Members Area and click the link in the middle column of the News page to sign up.

We are just beginning to fill our volunteer positions, so now is the time to call and get your pick! Check out what is available here, and then call me at (352)378-7063 or email. All volunteers get their pick of tshirt, and most will work long enough to get a free ride in the Santa Fe or Horse Farm. Those doing shifts before and after the event may earn additional shirts and rides.

There is a vast choice of tshirts this year. You can choose cotton or technical fabric, standard or ladies cut, and ladies can choose a pink shirt. There are also no sleeve shirts for both men and women, and a long sleeve shirt.
