Event is limited to 50 people!

The Freewheel Project is located at 618 S. Main ST.  There is plenty of parking just behind the building, easily accessible from SW 2nd ST.

Dinner will be catered by Gainesville's very own Reggae Shack Cafe. Food will be served buffet-style starting at  6 pm.  Enjoy a Jamaican chicken entree with traditional Caribbean sides, unless you have designated that you are a vegetarian on the Club membership roster, in which case you'll feast on a 100% vegan main course, instead.   A delicious vegan dessert  will be provided to all guests.  

Beer, wine, and soft drinks are included. 

Cost to attend the event is $10 per person for GCC members. This fee covers facility rental, beverages, the meal, and incidentals. It is heavily subsidized by the club.

Cost for non-member guests is $25 and must be paid in advance. If your non-member is not listed on the RSVP page, RSVP by email to roger@gccfla.org and we'll provide instructions for making the payment.

Dress is casual.

GCC's 11th Annual Concours d' Elegance

Bring your "special" bike to compete for an award in the 2017 Concours d' Elegance. Members will vote for the winner in four categories: 

Modern Road - must be a bike in current use by a member on club rides
Presentation - any beautiful bike 
Antique - manufactured before 1991
Commuter - a bike used regularly for commuting to work, school, or for shopping - to be eligible, the bike must be ridden to the meeting!

Due to space limitations, only one bike per member may be entered in the competition. Judging starts at 5 pm; to ensure maximum votes, have your bike in place by then!

If you have questions about the event, email committee chair Joseph Floyd.
