Annual Meeting and Picnic

We're doing our annual meeting this year as a picnic at San Felasco City Park. Rides can be planned from the Chevron or the park; eating is scheduled for noon! We'll convene the Annual Meeting sometime between 12:30 and 1 pm. Contact Ally Gill if you have an agenda item for the meeting.

The park is located just west of NW 43rd St behind the TV20 studios (a few blocks north of 53rd Ave).

The Club will provide sandwiches, so please RSVP in the Members Area so we'll know how many to get. Bring side dishes, salads, chips, and desserts to complement the sandwiches.


Jersey Order Stores to Open Soon

We're going to offer three different GCC jersey options this year. You'll be able to purchase them directly from the manufacturers via online stores, which will open around April 1. After the stores close, the jerseys and associated items will be custom sewn and delivered to the Club for distribution. We'll set up a way to get them mailed (for postage cost) to out-of-town members.

Thanks to our sponsors who will make the cost of the jerseys very attractive: Greg Grooms (Charles Schwab), Ryan Saylor (Cyclist's Realtor), Gator Cycle, Burkhardt Distributing (Michelob Ultra), Salty Dog Saloon, Attorneys Fine Farkash & Parlapiano, and Goodbike. There is one sponsor postition available on the jerseys; contact Frank Briscoe if you are interested or have a hot prospect!

Classic Jersey

We're updating our Classic Jersey a bit to take into account the raglan sleeve that is now offered by Voler.  We expect to offer Voler's full range of jersey, short, and accessory options for you to choose from.

Eye4 Jersey

This jersey design was last produced in 2004, but has remained popular with some of our club members.  They've about worn out their old ones, so we're bringing it back so they can restock, and so all of the club can have the opportunity to have one.  The design will be reworked slightly to make it work on a raglan sleeve; we'll post final art work when the Voler store opens.  As with the Classic jersey, we expect the full Voler catalog to be available.

Retro Jersey

Todd Leedy has come up with a new design for those who prefer a clean, classic-style jersey. It will be produced by a local company, Corbah. We'll be using their online store as well, and expect to have access to several of their jersey offerings.


Members have an expedited sign-up button in the Members Area.


Free Coffee

GCC (in collaboration with Gainesville’s Bicycle Pedestrian Advisory Board) will round out Florida Bike Month with our final two Bike Commute Mondays.  GCC Volunteers will be out in the wee morning hours to greet and encourage bike commuters along popular local cycle-commute routes.  We’ll set up along popular bike-commute routes on March 19th and March 26th, and give away coffee, donuts, bike lights, bells, and reflective vests between 5:30 and 7:30 a.m.


Learn

Stephen Perz will be teaching "Basics of Cycling in the Street", from 1-3 PM on Sun 18 March 2018 at The Freewheel Project.
