Dear Friends:

The EZ Riders will join Carol Glavin and the Hokey-Pokies on Saturday 6 August, as per details below.  UNLESS TS Emily is by then off the Atlantic Coast spinning off rainbands, in which case we will go West away from the storm, and ride the Nature Coast to the Suwanee River to watch the sturgeon jumping.  Same schedule, leaving from the old train depot on North Main Street.  Keep your eyes on the weather (NOAA Hurricane Center) and on the email for a change of plans engendered by the vagaries of the weather.  The current forecast is for her to be no factor Saturday morning, but the future tracks for tropical storms are notoriously hard to predict.

Cheers,

George

Longtime GCC member Carol Glavin sent a ride notice out earlier, so lets join her on Saturday, August 6 at the Rochelle parking lot on the Gainesville Hawthorne Trail.  Riders should meet at 8:15 for an 8:30 ride start.
 
The ride will be on the Gainesville Hawthorne Trail, a paved rail-trail (no cars!), perfect for new riders and families.  The tentative ride will be to Hawthorne and back,  16 miles.
 
Everyone is welcome to come on this ride (of course, you must wear a bike helmet).  Don't worry about being slow, no one is slower than me and we never leave anyone behind.
 
The ride will be chaperoned by the ride leader who will ride at the back of the group to make sure no one gets lost.  The ride leader is also a bicycle mechanic who can help fix flat tires and help with any other mechanical problems.
 
Directions to Rochelle:   Go east on University Avenue, go over Waldo Road.  About 1/4 mile east of Waldo Road, take the right fork in the road, which is State Road 20.  Go about 5 miles east on SR 20, and cross the bridge over Prairie Creek.  About 1/4 mile past the bridge, turn right onto County Road 2082.  Go about 1/2 mile, the Rochelle parking lot will be on the right, at the intersection of CR 2082 and CR 234.
 
Why Hokey Pokey rides?
Cause that's what it's all about!
