From The Editor Roger Pierce

I’m now in my 14th year of producingthis newsletter. We started outprinting it on 8 ½ x 14 paper, but

soon went to 11 x 17 to provide the fullsize newsletter you get today. Threeyears ago I changed the layout (tomake it more “crisp”).

You all don’t give me a whole lot offeedback (most is that you like what’shere). If there are any of you out therethat wish that there was something elsein here, let me know (send email [email protected]).

If you have a good idea for a columnyou would like to write, I’m alwayslooking for something good to providehome-grown information andentertainment in the newsletter. GaryKirkland is currently our only regularwriter, with several others throwing in

an epistle every once in a while.And should you be brave enough to

want to give editing this newsletter a try,give me a call. (I have plenty of otherthings to keep my busy!)

President's LetterIt's never too early…

Now that the hot weather is firmlyentrenched upon us, I like manyof us am trying to get back in

the saddle more consistently. I'm suremany of our members are, like me, stillworking on that spare tire we put onwhile hibernating over the winter. It'snever too early to try to get in shapefor the Gainesville Cycling Festival. Acouple of years ago I somehowmanaged to get in all of the Santa FeCentury, although I'm still not surehow. I can't count on divineintervention again this year (althoughany help he may give would be greatlyappreciated). I may even try to

"graduate" to the Horse FarmHundred. The weekend of October18th (Santa Fe Century) and 19th

(Horse Farm Hundred) will be herebefore I know it. I'd better get to work.If you pass by me panting on the sideof the road wish me luck.

Just as riding long distances takespreparation, so does putting on anevent the scope of The GainesvilleCycling Festival. As usual we will beasking for volunteer help over thecourse of the summer, however if youwould like to get involved in the frontend planning process, call RogerPierce at (352)378-7063. All help is ofcourse, greatly appreciated. It's nevertoo early to get involved.

Bob Newman

OFFICE OF GREENWAYS AND TRAILS

NATIONAL TRAILS DAY BIKE RIDE

June 7, 2008

The Nature Coast State Trail

Trenton, Florida

All rides start at 9:00 AM (or thereabouts) from the Old Train Depot, 419 North Main Street

in Trenton. Trenton is about 25 miles West of Gainesville on SR 26.

A fun, open, very low-key ride on the smoothly paved Nature Coast State Trail for all levels of

bicyclists, including children. Family ride groups are encouraged.

Ride options range from a few miles for beginning riders and families with small children, up to 64

miles for experienced cyclists who choose to ride the entire trail. The old railroad bridge where the

Trail crosses the Suwannee River near Old Town is a favorite option (about 12 miles from

Trenton). The original machinery which made the bridge pivot to allow steamboats to pass can still

be seen from the bank of the river below the trail. The rural landscape along the trail offers a

peaceful atmosphere complete with live oaks and wildflowers.

Maps of the trail will be provided at the starting point in Trenton. There will be refreshments at the

Depot and there are convenience stores along the trail. There is a Dairy Queen under the live oaks

in Cross City. The ride is not otherwise supported.

For information, contact [email protected] or 352-535-5181.

Helmets are required for children under 16 and recommended for everyone.


Route Scouting 101 by Gary Kirkland

In nearly two weeks on the road,scouting out routes for LifeSouthCommunity Blood Centers' Five

Points of Life Ride, I got an educationin the art/science of finding decentroads to ride.

I was fortunate to share this taskwith Jim Eckert who was already a"roads" scholar of bike routing, havinghelped in planning with several ofthese cross-country rides. Lesson No.1 we knew before ever leaving thedriveway: Just because there's asquiggle on the map between twopoints doesn't mean it's a road you'dever want to ride.

We knew our starting line would beOct. 1 in Mobile, Ala., and the finishline would be Cedar Key. Our objectivewas to snake through sevenSoutheastern states, hitting big citiesand small over about a month and2,000 miles. Step 1 was digitalscouting. Bike club Web sites can begreat sources on what roads the localsprefer, but it was soon apparent thatnot all clubs are as fortunate as GCC.On the club's site, http://gccfla.org/,you can find route maps, turn sheets,and contact numbers, and e-mailaddresses that actually connect to reallive folks. It is truly a gold star awardwinner compared to most. That said, afew digital connections with distantroadies were extremely helpful. If youwant to know where it's good to ride,ask someone who rides.

E-mailers from the GCC list alsoo f f e r e d t h e W e b s i t e s ,w w w . m a p m y r i d e . c o m a n dwww.bikely.com as go-to places, andin several cities this proved helpful.Search www.mapmyride.com andyou'll find 121 rides mapped aroundGainesville, 281 choices aroundGreenville, S.C., and 657 aroundAtlanta. Southeastern Cycling's Website,www.sadlebred.com/gamaps.html,served up enough options I could haveworn out my mouse exploring them all.But,I also found small towns, and notso small, that are route free, or nearlyso.

These mapped rides can range froma 2 miler from a rider's house to the

grocery, to 300 and 400 miletwo-wheeled odysseys. The majoritytended to be loop routes orout-and-backs, which weren't realhelpful in our attempt to connect dotsfrom one city to another, but piecescould be spliced and borrowed. Thesites would be most helpful if visiting astrange city and looking for somegood biking opportunities.

Online maps such as Google Maps(check the "avoid highways" box andit will serve up an interstate-free route)and Map Quest were helpful, but on afew occasions what we saw wasn'twhat we got. Just because there's asquiggle on a map doesn't alwaysmean there's a road to match it. Alongthe coast of Mississippi, onepromising back road had an Air Forcebase with very tall fences blocking ourpath from here to there. Outside ofSelma, Ala. the roads that were soclearly showing on the digital mapwere a mirage in reality.

Bike shops, too, were helpful, butwe had better luck with drop-by stops,rather than e-mail. One sign you maynot be in a bike friendly community iswhen you pose the question, "Where'sthe bike shop?" and you receivedirections to the Wal-Mart SuperCenter.

If you are tempted to complainabout our local roads, I might suggesta visit to Mississippi. Starkville, Miss.is home to Mississippi State Universitywith more than 17,000 students oncampus, and only one bike shop intown. There's a good reason. Pavedshoulders are scarce, back roadswere narrow and often poorly paved,and in many spots the white line onthe edge of the road is so deeplygouged with rumble strips they lookedcapable of swallowing all but thefattest of tires. The Natchez Trace

Parkway that runs fromNatchez, Miss. all the way toNashville, Tenn., and theLongleaf Trace, that runs formore than 40 miles westfrom Hattiesburg, werecycling oases.

Georgia - which had manygood cycling roads and even

designated on-road trails down thecoast - also had one of the mostconfounding pieces of highwayengineering. It will offer a wide andinviting paved shoulder that on closeinspection is carved with rumblestripping from the white line all the wayto the grass. It hardly looked liketwo-wheeled fun.

We returned with memories of manygreat roads and quaint small townsthat looked like they'd be fun toexplore on two wheels. We alsogained a renewed appreciation for theroads right here in our backyard.

Five Points of Life Ride Will Feature Local Riders

Only a dozen riders wereselected to take part inLifeSouth Community Blood

Centers' Five Points of Life Ride, butfour of them happen to be members ofGCC.

The ride, which takes place everytwo years, is an awareness raiser thataims to remind people of theimportance of donating blood, donatingplatelets through apheresis, signing upas a potential marrow or organ/tissuedonor, or encouraging the parents ofnewborns to donate the child'sumbilical cord blood. That adds up tofive different ways to save a life, andall of the riders have one or moreconnections to those four. GCCmembers include:• Perry McGriff, Jr.• Bruce Stechmiller• Paul "Skip" Choate• Tracy WalkerThe ride will cover more than 2,000miles. It begins Oct. 1 in Mobile, Ala.


A Ride To Remember by Ralph Cott

Dementia of Alzheimer's type is,by far, the most common typeof dementia in the elderly (sixty

to 80%). This translates to over fourmillion Americans. As our geriatricpopulation grows, this number ispredicted to increase to 7.7 million inthe year 2030 and to a staggering 13.2million by 2050. Approximately 5% ofpeople have DAT at age 65. Thispercentage increases to 35-50% overthe age of 85. Current therapy for thetreatment of DAT is limited and thereare no disease-modifying therapies. Inother words, there is no known cure orprevention. Much research is neededin this area.

May 17th markedthe Second AnnualRide To Remember.This is a bike ridedesigned for riders ofall levels from a shortG a i n e s v i l l eHawthorne trail rideto a century throughthe p ic turesquehorse farm area. Allp r o c e e d s w e n tdirectly to the Centraland North FloridaChapter of theA l z h e i m e r ' sAssociation. This year, there wereover 275 riders. This, along with othersponsors, raised over $27,000! Iwould like to personallythank eachand everyone of you who participatedin this event for such a worthy cause.

Kickstand by Jim Funk

Two old men, Dan Perrine and JimFunk, joined the open,community ride to support the

Kickstand project, Friday evening,January 26. These GCC membersstood out by their grey beards amonga plethora of young, fresh faces.

Like GCC rides, it was a friendlygroup, equally divided between thesexes, and generally well behaved,with most staying in one lane. Noconfrontations were noted with autotraffic, and many motorists andpedestrians were excited and couriousabout seeing almost 200 cyclists onthe road. Their blinkers randomlyflashing in the night were a pretty sight,though more headlights and reflectiveclothing would have been morereassuring.

Comments from riders wereencouraging and positive. Many wereinterested in checking out therecumbent Dan was riding-------theonly recumbent in the group. The

group tended to stick together well,though this generated the possiblecontroversial, but probably safestpractice, of letting the whole group getthrough a light, even if it had turnedred. Volunteers would stop and warntraffic at each intersection.

At the end of the ride, folks met atthe Kickstand-----the new bicyclecollective, whose goal is to encouragecycling by facilitating people gettingand repairing their own bicycles. Theyhave one large room behind thestereo store on South Main street, andcan also be found online atthekickstand.org. There was musicand food at the benefit, and it seemedlike a fun crowd.

GCC members probably concurw i t h t h e g o a l s o f avolunteer/community run parts & bikerepair shop, and the Kickstand goal toget more people out on bikes, butdisagree with the idea of causingsome traffic disruption. GCC

members are welcome to join inhelping the Kickstand get a healthykickstart and help maintain them in thelong run.

Large group rides do generateinterest in cycling and even someanti-cyclist sentiment. If there is a ridein which enough people taking partdemonstrates the importance andlegitimacy of their activity, then alongthe way to that legitimacy, there mightbe some controversy. An example ofthis, is the now world famous ParisFriday Night Skate. It began 20 someyears ago with a bunch of folks skatingon the sidewalk. More people joinedin, and spilled into the streets, causingdisruption, controversy, and publicity.More joined, and now it is a weeklyevent with a police and ambulanceescort, with up to 25,000 people takingpart at one time.


Brevet Report by Jim Wilson

Florida brevets are often ridiculedas being far too easy. There areno hills to speak of, and our

series of four rides (200, 300, 400 and600 kilometers) are scheduled earlyenough to avoid the worst heat of latespring.

This year the Gainesville brevetseries was certainly one of the hardestin the country. It was a good year tobe an RBA with the privilege of doing a"workers ride" a week or two beforethe actual event. Except for the 300K,fellow GCC member Peter Noris and Ihad a much easier chore than theriders who tried to duplicate our featseven days later.

200K

Forty-two riders departed in fairly niceweather, but after about 40 miles, thesteady, cold rain began. It wasn't adeluge, but it was the kind of weatheryou wouldn't ride in if you had achoice.

Randonneurs don't have a choice;they fancy themselves tougher thanyour normal weekend cyclist. A littlerain isn't supposed to bother them.Still, debris sticks to wet tires. Multipleflats are common and much harder tofix when your hands are cold andnumb.

One rider finished just inside the13:30 limit after suffering three flatsand having only two tubes. Heavoided abandoning only after Irefused to drive 70 miles to pick himup. His friend backtracked to find himshivering by the side of the road. Thefriend had one last tube, and together,they finished the ride well after dark.

300K

For Peter and I, it was a nightmare.We started in a freezing drizzle androde all day through rain andtemperatures that never got muchabove 40.

At least for the bulk of the riders, itwas a delight. A little jaunt of 185

miles up to Georgia and back in nearlyperfect weather. Most riders finishedby 10PM, but one fellow got lost andkept me worrying until nearly 1AM.

400K

The route left Gainesville, went east toKeystone Heights, northwest to WhiteSprings, west to Mayo, and then backeast to Gainesville. For the entire 125miles From Keystone eights to Mayo,the riders battled a 40 knot headwind!As we drove up I-75 to feed the ridersat White Springs, I had to concentrateto keep from being blown out of mylane.

Not everyone made it. The sensibleones abandoned as soon as theyturned into the wind, but they still hada 30-mile slog back into Gainesville.The strong rode in a pack and didtheir best to shelter each other fromthe gale. A few soldiered on alone,knowing they'd need almost the full 27hours to finish. In the early morning,the temperature dropped belowfreezing. One rider got lostapp roa c h i n g B r a n f o r d andabandoned. While fetching him, Ipicked up another who had run out oftime.

600K

On the longest ride (375 miles),conditions went from bad to worse.

Rain the night before the Saturday3AM departure meant the ridersdeparted on wet roads, but by dawn,they had mostly dried. The rain heldoff until the riders began arriving at thelunch control 130 miles in, but when itcame, it came in biblical proportions.

After eating lunch, the ridershuddled in groups under a picnicshelter and debated when to go. Anymomentary lull in the rain onlypreceded a heavier downpour. Itbecame obvious that waiting wasfutile, and the riders left in groups oftwo or three to face the elements.

Just as night fell, a group of four

riders passing just north of Alachuaencountered the worst. After pedalingthrough horrific winds and heavy rain,one of the four decided he had hadquite enough fun for one bike ride andabandoned at the next control. Thenext day's paper included reports of atornado north of Alachua at dusk,causing structural damage to severalbuildings.

To discourage riders fromattempting the whole ride withoutsleep, I plan a mid-ride control back atthe "headquarters" motel inGainesville. Usually a zealot or twowill ignore my admonition and continuestraight through the final 145 miles.This year, it took little effort todissuade such ambitions. One look atthe angry clouds through the wildlyswaying trees was all it took toconvince everyone to depart early thenext morning for the final miles.

On Sunday, the winds abated, butthe rain continued all day. Except fortwo riders who overslept and missedthe 6:30AM deadline in Newberry,everyone who persisted through thesecond day finished the ride.

Epilogue

There were no record speeds thisyear, but I stand in awe the riders whocompleted a ride in this year's series.

High Bees Swarm (May 3)

2nd Annual Gardening Extravaganza by Diann Dimitri

On May 10, we gathered to revisitall those beautiful flowers andnative plants that were installed

at the Hawthorne Trailhead back in2005 thanks to David Pais and yourhelp.

We removed all the black plasticcollars from the now established trees,weeded around the bases of the trees,and removed invasive vines.

After the event, we gathered at PJ’sCafé for a sumptuous feast.

As you ride through the area, besure to notice this amazing display ofnative plants and trees.

Pictured are organizer Diann Dimitri,Friends of Paynes Prairie PresidentGeorge Edwards, Lee Edwards,FROGHAT President Ewen Thomson,and Nancy Lasseter.

P.S. We found that there are publicrest rooms in a park just on the eastside of US 301 on SE 69th Ave (SR2082) in Lindsey Phillips Park.
