Festival T-shirt Deadline

One of the truly unique features of the Gainesville Cycling Festival is the wide assortment of t-shirts that can be purchased.

This year, we have soft cotton short sleeve and long sleeve shirts and techincal short sleeve and no sleeve shirts in both men's and women's cuts.

We'll place the production order on Friday (Sep 27). After that, only soft cotton short sleeve shirts will be available (we'll order extras of those). If you want anything else, do your Festival entry before Friday!


Millhopper Crew

by Sue Bowers

There has quite a bit of attrition with the Millhopper clean-up crew. We are in desperate need of volunteers to help keep our premier bike lane clean and safe.

I will be holding an organizational meeting at my home on Saturday, Sept 28 at 3 pm. With the Gainesville Cycling Festival quickly approaching, I need to get a solid crew of 14 volunteers in place to create the best cycling experience for our Festival participants. It's not a huge commitment, as we only clean as needed and you will be paired into 2-person team to take care of a short segment of Millhopper Road.

Perks of being on this Crew are free annual GCC membership and free admission to Club parties

Beverages and snacks will be provided at the meeting on the 28th. please respond by Email if interested, and if you can't make the meeting, I could do a one on one to provide the info you will need. I will provide the address for the meeting when I hear from you about your interest.

THANKS..Sue Bowers
