About
Team Florida is a group of people who like to ride bikes. This can take different forms for different people. Many Team Florida members enjoy racing and this is a focus of our club. Many group rides are tailored towards training for races. This could entail riding easy for several hours, perhaps doing some fast riding or sprints, etc. All riders are welcome on group rides, but you must bring a helmet.
Demographically we’ve got a slight bent towards men. Thats not to say women don’t ride bikes, but at team meetings its probably closer to 3:2 rather than 1:1. Every year new freshmen at UF get involved in cycling, all the way up through grad students. Faculty occasionally join us for group rides.
Team Florida is a sports club recognized by UF. In order to be an official member you must be a student at the university. The Student Government is generous and helps pay for our racing schedule, so it is important that we respect the rules they’ve laid out. If you’re not a UF student but want to get involved in cycling in Gainesville you should check out the Gainesville Cycling Club.
