The Gainesville Cycling Club will have a picnic at Paynes Prairie State Park on Saturday, April 30.   The Park is a perfect place for family bike riding, with several miles of quiet paved roads suitable for riders of all ages.  There is also an off-road (dirt) trail system, that has gentle trails that wind through different ecosystems.

 

Ride leaders may want to plan rides that begin and/or end at the Park.  The picnic begins at 12:00 noon.

 

Please RSVP to the GCC website so we can get a count of how many people to expect.

 

Chandler will be serving hamburgers, hot dogs, salmon burgers, Boca burgers and (if available) Johnsonville bratwursts.  Please send RSVP to chanbike@xxxxxxx if you have a preference.

 

Club members are asked to bring a side dish such as a salad or desert to round out the feast.
