Thursday February 8, Strays (sometimes known as the Fireflies) will meet at the Devil's Millhopper entrance gate, near the intersection of NW 43rd st and Millhopper Road, at around 6:15 pm, to ride about 23 miles out on Millhopper Rd., to 241, and to the BP in Alachua, and back. Anyone wanting a shorter ride can join us and turn back at the end of Millhopper (total 14 miles) or wherever they want.

DO NOT attend this ride unless you have full LEGAL lighting and reflectors for night riding, OR if you have never been in a group ride, NOR ridden at night before. This ride will start in the dark, and sometimes there is tree debris in the bike path, particularly after a storm. (10 watts minimum headlight for safe riding)

Black is not a good jersey color for night riding ! Absolutely no non-GCC riders allowed !

If you drive to the ride, you can park at the Chevron Station at Millhopper and NW 43rd. Please observe all considerations for the business and do not block pumps, and use only the parking spaces along the NW 43rd st. side of the station.

Ride start will be at 6:30 pm, from the Devil's Millhopper entrance gate, which is about a quarter mile west of the Chevron Station on the north side of Millhopper Road.

There will be a convenience store / restroom stop in Alachua at the midpoint.

No pace lines, no wheel sucking, no racing, just a fun safe ride.

Helmets are REQUIRED on all Strays rides, mirrors recommended, headphones forbidden.

Safety protocols are always observed on Strays rides
