Greetings GCC'ers,The Challenge - GCC Close to Winning
48 DAYS TO GO - NEED EVERYONE'S HELP
Greetings GCC'ers,
Firstly, thank you to those members who are participating in the National Bike Challenge - the Gainesville Cycling Club has taken the lead again, but only after I made a concerted effort to recruit more participants. YOU CAN DO THE SAME.
The GCC can win the challenge three years in a row - then leave on a high note! I implore every member to sign up at the http://nationalbikechallenge.org website. It doesn't matter if you commute, ride for fun, ride hard, or race, every single contribution counts. Mileage can be retro'd back to May 1. If you're on Strava, it is a piece of cake to sync your account to the NBC site.
For additional motivation, I thought I'd share with you some of the real quotes the Washington team has been making about our club and city, on their Facebook page and forum website:
"The Washington Area All-Stars eased ahead of the crackers this weekend for the month of July" <-- Crackers? Really???
"It does look like we've kinda burst their bubble."
"Given the weight of dasgeh's bike and its contents, I'm strongly suspecting that the amount of energy she has to put into pedaling, even with e-assist, is greater than most of us do with a normal bike without e-assist." Reply comment - "Especially more than those flat landers from Gainesville, Florida"
"Perhaps laurels grow in Gainesville? If those guys have nice comfy laurels to rest on when they get tired, perhaps that explains why we are beating them?"
As GCC El Presidente, I am not going to sit here, and watch people diss my USA home city and the people of the GCC. If these stupid comments aren't enough to motivate you, then I really don't know what is.
Please consider joining the Gainesville Cycling Club's challenge team. If you have any questions about sign up, you can contact me directly over email at elpresidente@gccfla.org
Come on members, let's knock out the win for 2015!!! If we win, there will be a celebratory party happening...
