Chilly Chili Annual Meeting

Saturday, February 15
Poe Springs Park
28800 NW 182nd Ave, High Springs, FL 32643

RSVP for the Picnic/Meeting in the Members Area.

Calling all GCC'ers, it's time to celebrate. It might be cold but we'll have an INDOOR facility and CHILI at the end. We need your participation to help make this another great GCC event.

We'll have the club's annual business meeting after dessert; we'll keep it short! Topics will include Board vacancies and Festival volunteering.

In addition to the dopamine surge of a great ride on a brisk morning, and the mellow serotonin vibe being around familiar friends and good food, this year will have the adrenaline rush of friendly competition. We will have prizes for the best meat-based chili, vegetarian chili and white chili. Break out your favorite recipe!

And, maybe most importantly, a prize will be awarded to the riding group that brings out the most participants. Note that any member in attendance can be counted and riding the day of the picnic is not required. So, come help with setup and hang out at Poe Springs if you like. A coupon for a giNormous pizza will be going to the riding group with the most participants.

The day will start with a nice ride of your choice. Group ride leaders should dust off their map books and start advertising their ride choice to group members. Ride leaders may want to start rides at the Park, or ride to the Park, about 25 miles from Gainesville (the park opens at 8 am).

The picnic will start around 12:00. If you are able, bring your best chili. Please have electric pots to keep your chili warm. The club will have power strips. Alternatively, bring a nice salad, cornbread, or dessert to compliment the chili. The club will provide plates, utensils, and drinks. The club will have volunteers at the park by 8:30 to receive and set up food you'd like to drop off before riding.

There is NO entry fee to the Park.
