Meeting Place: Parking lot in the front of the Progress Center on US 441, south of the city of Alachua. 

Route and Mileage: We will ride north on 441 to CR 241(or probably just come out of the back end of the Progress Center to access downtown Alachua by Rachel Boulevard and go to Peggy Road and follow Peggy Road to NW 202 Street, turning north there to NW 190 Ave, turning west to High Springs and turn north on CR 236 to go to Traxler for our rest stop. From there we will ride east on CR 236 to Santa Fe and turn south on SR 121 to Lacrosse and take CR 235 to where we turn south on CR 237 to Hague and from there we will take 441 back to the Progress Center. This should be about a 39 mile ride. Based on the starting time and distance we should be back around 11:30am. The GCC Earth Day picnic starts at noon at the San Falasco Trailhead right behind the Progress Center for all those that wish to attend. 

Pace: The HighBees ride pace is about 16 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.
