GCC Annual Meeting and Party

Join your fellow cyclists for our Club's Annual Meeting (and Party!) at the Cypress & Grove Brewing Company at 5 pm on Saturday, March 25th.

We will have yummy food platters much like last year plus desserts!

Come enjoy a drink from Cypress and Grove and enjoy the company of your fellow GCC members!

The featured presentation this year will be by Aaron Weber and/or Daniel Alves of Micanopy, who will give a talk on "Micanopy Rail Trail: Advocating for Rail Trails in Alachua County".

Please RSVP in the Members Area so we know how much food to bring! We'll print name tags for those who RSVP.

The brewery is located on 10th Ave between 4th Street and the Rail Trail. For more information about Cypress & Grove, click here.
