Win A Pizza Party For Your Group

The active riding group with the most members registering for the Ride To Remember will receive a free Pizza Party!

So far, the standings are really tight, with a number of groups in the running.

Go to the Members Area to sign up for the ride and help your group win!

The fine print: Active groups are those that are currently posting rides: Gliders, A Riders, LoBees, Hokey Pokeys, Saddle Tramps, SxSW, GCX, Middle Bees, Velo et Cafe, and Cruisers.  Riders that are members of more than one group will count for the group that they participate in at the highest level: Captain, Ride Leader, Regular, Occasional, Infrequent.  If a rider is at the same level in more than one group, they will count one half for each group. If groups are tied, the group that reached the participation level first will win.  The Club will supply simple pizzas and sodas for the party.


Sign Up for the Pedal-Off Party on Friday

Packet pickup and registration will be available on Friday evening before the event at the Village, between 5 pm and 7 pm. Register at preregistration prices. Save time by doing a form online and bringing it with you.

Stick around, Kick back and relax with the sounds, sights and tastes of Barcelona! With flamenco entertainment, live music, and the best sangria outside of Spain, this event is sure to dazzle! Thank you Elio Piedra for providing the music for tonight's event! The cost to riders is heavily discounted at $10 (non-riders pay $35). Also, be sure to make a donation of for a sangria flight for your chance to sample four unique recipes at once.

Make it a date night and come out to this awesome event raising funds for Al'z Place, an adult day care and program of ElderCare of Alachua County.

Memorial Day Picnic at Hart Springs

Ride the back roads of Gilchrist County to work up an appetite and a need to jump in a cool spring. Time your arrival for gate-opening at 9 am if you will be doing a ride from Hart Springs. Food is planned for noon. Chandler and crew are whipping up a build your own Mexican main course; bring salads and deserts, and a lawn chair. PLEASE RSVP if you are going to eat the main course.

Entry into Hart Springs is $5 per head ($3 seniors), max $15 per car (up to 6). If you are arriving by bike, please stop and pay (those doing rides from the park don’t have to pay to get back in, but show your arm band).

Hart Springs is 37 miles from I-75, about 45 minutes. Take SR 26 west from Gainesville (Newberry Road). When SR 26 takes a big left, continue straight onto SW 85th Lane, and then turn right onto CR232. Go 4 miles and turn left onto CR344. The park is on the right before you get to the end of the road.

RSVP in the Members Area.
