I will not be leading a LoBee ride this Saturday as many of our members will be at the club’s Fanning Springs picnic.  (See below)

 

The LoBees will continue our Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail rides Sunday, July 20.

 

Thanks… Bob

************************************************

The Gainesville Cycling Club is having a picnic on Saturday, July 19 at Fanning Springs State Park.    Food will begin about noon.  Club members are asked to bring a side dish.   Please RSVP with menu selection (see below).

 

There is a 37 mile long paved rail-trail (The Nature Coast Trail) next to the park, and Fanning Springs is a lovely crystal clear spring, excellent for swimming.

 

              ********************************************************************************************

Food Safety notice:  We would ask that Club members remove bicycle gloves and wash hands before getting near  the food.   Bicycle gloves tend to have lots of fun bacteria, and have been associated with food poisoning incidents at bike events.  We will have hand sanitizer at the picnic and Fanning has excellent bathrooms

             **************************************************************************************************

MENU:    Italian sub   (ham, turkey, salami, provolone cheese)

              GCClub sandwich   (ham, turkey, Swiss cheese)

              Hot dog(s)--- all beef, either Oscar Meyer or Hebrew National

 

I will pre-prepare the sandwiches without veggies or dressing.   You will have lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, mustard, mayo and Italian dressing to dress your sandwiches.

 

Please RSVP (reply to this e-mail)  to let me know which selections you want (you can have more than one).  This helps me know how much food to buy and prepare.Please RSVP by Friday noon.

 

 

Fanning Springs State Park is 45 miles west of Gainesville.    Take State Road 26 (Newberry Road) west, through Newberry and through Trenton.  Continue on SR 26 to Fanning Springs, where the road dead ends into US 19. Turn right (west) on US 19, the park will be about 1/4 mile west on the left (south) side of US 19.   Entry fees to the park are $4 per carfull of people, or $1 for bike riders.
