Gainesville Cycling Festival

by Stephen Perz

The Board of Directors of the Gainesville Cycling Club met on Monday 10 August and discussed the question of whether to hold an in-person Gainesville Cycling Festival in 2020. Based on input from the Festival Director, who has been in conversations with key festival staff, and in light of the risks posed by Covid-19 for holding in-person events, the Board voted unanimously to postpone the 40th annual Gainesville Cycling Festival until 2021. The Board is now considering some type of virtual event later this year, and will make a decision about that in the near future.
