This week’s ride info:

Day: Saturday, February 7^th 

Time: 10:00 am meeting, 10:15 am departure (Due to cold temperature expected, although Saturday looks to be a lot milder then the three days before it)

Meeting Place: Trailhead for the Gainesville- Hawthorne Trail at Boulware Springs.

To get to the Boulware Springs dirt lot:

From the intersection of Waldo Road (24/331) and University Ave (26), proceed East on University for about a quarter mile, the road forks, take the right fork, which is Hawthorne Rd. (20), in about another block take a right (going south) on SE 15th St.., continue south for about 2.25 miles until you see the brown Gainesville Hawthorne Trail sign on your right. Pass the first entrance to the park, but enter the second entrance a few hundred feet further south.

Route and Mileage: We will ride out on the GHT to the road that is one past CR 234 and head to Windsor turning on CR 1476 to head to Hawthorne. From there we will take the GHT back to Gainesville. The total ride will be around 40 miles. We did this ride about a month ago and everyone there enjoyed it and requested we do it again.

Pace: The HighBees ride pace is about 16-17 MPH; a little faster based on terrain and slower on climbs. This is a friendly, no drop ride; we re-group at all turns when needed.

If you are new to GCC and are looking for a weekly ride with a moderate pace and moderate distance, please feel free to join us.

Thanks,

Mike
