RSVP for Labor Day Picnic

Monday, September 3, Noon

Our last picnic of the summer! Chandler will bring his now famous soft taco bar! AND brats! * BRING * side dishes to complement the main courses and for dessert. We'll find a place for you to help out at the Horse Farm Hundred or Santa Fe Century.

We will provide enough main course for those who RSVP. Please RSVP before the weekend if you will be eating the main course so that we can buy enough food.

Rides should be planned to meet at the park at 9 am; eating will commence by noon.

Boulware Springs is located on SE 15th St. See https://gccfla.org/starts/ridelocboulware.html for more detailed directions. We meet on top of the hill behind the pump house.

Family Friendly Ride

Join the Gainesville Cycling Club for our monthly Family Friendly Ride from Depot Park down the Gainesville Hawthorne Trail to the Lake Alachua Overlook for a 9 mile round trip. A shorter option is to ride to the Sweetwater Overlook, which is a 6 mile round trip. Parents and helmets required. Tag-alongs and bike trailers welcome, but no training wheels. We will meet at the far end of the Depot Park parking lot (the lot by the pavilions). Don't forget your water bottles!

This event is FREE and you do not have to be a member of the Gainesville Cycling Club to ride with us. This event repeats the third Saturday of every month. Bring out the kids on September 15 at 9 am!
