The GCX group traverses the unpaved roadways of north central Florida using primarily cyclocross equipment to maintain a moderate-high intensity training pace. Group activities include winter weeknite rides (Nov-Mar) and longer weekend rides year round. Group members a have a mixture of road and mtb backgrounds which mix happily, whether on dusty washboard limerock or sticky rain-soaked sugar sand. GCX riders participate in cyclocross races, gravel grinders, and ultra-CX races - but for some the primary goal is training for road/mtb events and enjoying all that rural Florida offers when pavement does not interfere.

Cyclocross machines are recommended for these rides, but hardtail mtb bikes, particularly 29ers, can also work well. Ride intensity may vary but will be posted in accordance with recognized GCC ride levels.

This group does not currently have any rides on the schedule.

When you join the group (in the Members Area) you will be able to elect to receive instant email notifications of group ride postings.

Group membership is open to all Gainesville Cycling Club members. To join, sign in to the Members Area, go to the Ride page, and click on "Join A Group" just under the "Group Membership" heading.
