Membership Expirations Extended Again

As the Club is still unable to host our usual rides, parties, and picnics, the Board has decided to extend memberships by another six months.

Release Updated

The insurance release for the Club has been updated by our insurance carrier. If you have not done so in the last few weeks, please sign in to the Members Area and execute the release. If you do not have a current release on file, the system will take you directly to the release page.

HELP!

The Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail Keepers, a volunteer group that helps maintain the trail, is running short on volunteers. Anyone who is interested in becoming a volunteer should contact Jim Eckert - email: major0202@yahoo.net or cell (352)318-2767. Active volunteers in this GCC Service Group do not pay dues. Volunteers will be signed up in the Paynes Prairie State Park volunteer system. Generally, a volunteer will use park equipment to blow debris off the trail each Friday.

2021 Brevet Schedule

200 km: 3/20/21
300 km: 4/17/21

Look for more details as we get closer to the events.

City Amendment #2

For decades bicycle advocates and local leaders have wanted to create a "Hogtown Greenway", a new, community-spanning bicycle-pedestrian trail for families to enjoy. One erroneous portion of the charter blocks this, but the "Construction of Pavement on City Land" would eliminate this provision and allow this new trail to be constructed. That's why it's been endorsed by Gainesville Citizens for Active Transportation - GCAT.
