Memberships Status
As previously reported, the Club has extended all existing memberships by one year due to the COVID situation.
During this time (starting this past November), the Club is recognizing any group (up to six riders) that consists of only GCC members who have signed the current release as an official Club ride. This provides you with coverage under our insurance policy.
We were able to build up our bank account during the early years of this century by running significant surpluses in the Gainesville Cycling Festival and Gainesville Brevet Series. This made it possible to suspend the dues and still meet our payment obligations.
As we are now able to cover you with insurance (the bill for which went up quite a bit this year), we'll resume collecting dues with memberships expiring in March.
We're in the process of printing and mailing new membership cards for all members. This will take a while as there are currently 839 of you.
Here's to hoping the vaccines do their job and allow us to put on a Club picnic or two this year!
