This week’s ride info:

Day: Saturday, March 12th

Time: 9:00am meeting, 9:15 departure

Meeting Place: Trailhead for the Gainesville- Hawthorn Trail at Boulware Springs. (Any problem finding it, my cell is 352-665-6100)

To get to the Boulware Springs dirt lot:

From the intersection of Waldo Road (24/331) and University Ave (26), proceed East on University for about a quarter mile, the road forks, take the right fork, which is Hawthorne Rd. (20), in about another block take a right (going south) on SE 15th St.., continue south for about 2.25 miles until you see the brown Gainesville Hawthorne Trail sign on your right. Pass the first entrance to the park, but enter the second entrance a few hundred feet further south.

Route and Mileage: We will ride out on the GHT to the road that is close to Hawthorne Rd just east of where we pick up Lakeshore Drive to go to SR 26, then south on CR234 to Windsor, east on CR1474 to CR219A, south to US 301 and into Hawthorne. After a stop we’ll get on the GHT back to Boulware Springs.  Ride is about 45 miles.

Pace: The HighBees ride pace is about 17-18 MPH. 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 relatively moderate pace and relatively moderate distance, please feel free to join us.

Membership Requirements: Please note that HighBee rides are open to all GCC members who wish to participate. Those that are non-members may ride with the group as a guest of a sponsoring member once without being required to be a member.
