Diann Dimitri, Pedalers ride leader
 
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.
 
Ride groups may want to organize rides that arrive at the picnic. Or you can make up your own ride, the rail-trail is very safe and you can't get lost.  Everyone should take the opportunity to visit the bridge over the Suwannee River where you can watch the sturgeon jump.
              ********************************************************************************************
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 to Chandler Otis (Chanbike@xxxxxxx)  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.
