Annual Meeting

Join your fellow cyclists for our Club's Annual Meeting (and Party!) at the Cypress & Grove Brewing Company at 5 pm on Sunday, March 3rd.

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 brewery has beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages for sale.)

The featured presentation this year will be by Dekova Batey, former Bicycle/Pedestrian Coordinator for the City of Gainesville.

Please RSVP in the Members Area so we know how much food to bring!

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