My Australian brother has asked me to post the schedule because he is busy charging his lights and cleaning up his cross bike in preparation for winter madness.

Saturday-NORTH, Sept 25th: Meet at 7:45 am, depart at 8.00 am.   Given the recent wind pattern, we're going to go North East into the wind.  The route: Tour of Prisons Century: http://www.gccfla.org/maps/NEprisons.html (yes, we're going to jail, but you will be home in time to get your tail gated)

Sunday-SOUTH, Sept 26th: Meet at 8 am, depart at 8.15 am.

Optional Sunday ride: Jo Weaver and the gang are riding the Santa Fe Century Route in preparation for the MS-150 ride.  See her posting.

About the

Helmets are required on all GCC Rides. Expect mileage to be in the 50-70+ range with one rest stop. Routes are determined prior to the ride depending on which way the wind is blowing and who shows up. Routes are agreed upon by consensus the morning of and may change en route. Speed is consistent 20 + mph during the ride. With surges exceeding 25 mph (and sometimes 30 mph). A- Riders do respect all road safety rules, but do not respect a specific speed limit, especially after the rest stop.  We will often regroup at major intersections before the rest stop, but not necessarily after the rest stop.  A-Riders don't get worried when they see a posting at 8PM at night changing the start time for the mornings ride.  We only live to ride anyway, and don't really have anything else going on.

NORTHERN ROUTES: Meet:

At the Chevron station @ NW 43rd St and 53rd Ave (Hunters Crossing and Millhopper Road)

PARK: In along NW 43rd St. Start at the north end and work south. Do not park in the slots alongside the station or along NW 53rd Ave. DO NOT use the business lots east of the Chevron on Saturdays. Overflow parking is along the short east-west street south of the station. Please watch where you are standing; do not block the flow of traffic going to the pumps.

SOUTHERN ROUTES:

MEET: At the "Kangaroo (formerly Le Store)" on the NW corner of SW 34 th St and Williston Road.

PARK: At the end of SW 47th Ave just east of 34th Street across from the big Post Office. Please do not loiter in the parking area. Parking also may be available at the south end of the Publix parking lot. If you park in the Publix parking lot please park as close to 34th Street as possible. We want to keep the spots close to the stores open for shoppers, hopefully we can keep a low profile and not become a problem to the businesses in the plaza. Thanks for your help with this!
