This past Sunday’s Winter Wonder Ride was an absolute success! Riders were treated to a 20-mile, five-checkpoint route around Gainesville and earned prizes including spoke beads, canvas patches, water bottles and t-shirts.

After the ride, we enjoyed 5-star pizza and drinks at the shop while listening to live music and talking about bicycles, bicycles and bicycles!

Thank you to all who volunteered and participated. We look forward to organizing future rides and furthering the mission of The Gainesville Community Bicycle Project.

Can we still call it the “Winter Wonder Ride” if its 80 degrees outside?!?

Regular meetings will be held every Thursday at 7PM at the Main Street building.

We have a tentative plan to open the doors as early as 5:30PM before each meeting for “work parties” :o) Thanks for your support.
