Safety
Helmets are required! All riders are expected to follow all traffic laws while on public roadways. Riders should ride at a steady speed in a straight line and as far to the right as practical. Stay Alert! A defensive riding attitude will help prevent many accidents.
All persons under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult at all times while participating in the events.
- The centuries are mass starts. When there is a police or SAG escort stay behind the escort.
- Don’t ride more than two abreast. When traffic must slow to move around you, ride single file. [Florida Statutes 316.2065 (6)]
- Don’t bunch up at intersections or on hills.
- Signal when you change lanes, slow down, or stop.
- When passing someone, call out “on your left.” Florida Law requires that you give three feet of clearance.
- Your bicycle should be in good mechanical order. Carry tools, a spare tube, a patch kit, and a tire pump. Sag service will be concentrated toward the end of the ride and will have limited repair capability.
- Remember that these are tours and not competitive rides. Go as fast as you wish but do not jeopardize others in doing so.

Donations
Any donations will go to this charity:
Gainesville Cycling Club’s Bikes 4 Vets – Bikes 4 Vets is one of the club’s service groups that connects local veterans with a reliable form of transportation: the bicycle. The group, led by Diann Dimitri, accepts donation bikes to rehabilitate for veterans or resell for funds to purchase bike parts, lights, and locks. Diann works with the Honor Center for Veterans to distribute the bicycles as part of the veterans’ re-entry into the community. Apart from acting as an efficient means of transportation, veterans benefit from the joy of riding for recreation on many of Gainesville’s trails and bike paths.
Lodging & Camping
For motels convenient to both Daft Cow and First Magnitude, look at motels located in the center of town near the University of Florida. If you are riding from Flemington on Sunday, motels along I-75 will be more convenient. If you are riding only the Santa Fe Century, either Alachua exit I-75 or campus area motels will work. If you are riding only from First Magnitude, campus area and downtown motels are closest.
