Secret Santa Open House Weekend
December 6 - 7, 2024
White Springs, Florida
Event Coordinator - Joy Montgomery
Our trails are open and in great shape, the Park's Festival of Lights will be opening, and the town will be kicking off the season with their annual holiday parade. On Friday night we will enjoy a wine and cheese happy hour, and those who wish can decorate themselves and their bicycles and ride in the town parade. There will be a pot luck supper on Saturday night followed by a bicycle-related gift exchange. We will also be enjoying off-road, gravel, and on-road rides throughout the weekend.
This is a free members-only event, so if you haven’t done so already and want to participate, be sure to complete an online membership registration on the Suwannee Bicycle Association website.
If you plan to attend please RSVP to Joy Montgomery at [email protected].
Parade starts at the ball park at 5 p.m. and continues along Spring Street and into the State Park.
If you and/or your significant other would be willing to ride your bike in the parade this year, please consider purchasing a set of these very cool spoke or handlebar lights from FAT BRAIN Toys (or any other site) called Wheel Brightz. or Cruizin Brightz. They are about $15 each and to be really effective, I suggest a set for the front and the back wheels in either red or green if you choose the Wheel Brightx. Of course batteries are NOT included and each set requires three AAs. If we could get at least 6-8 of us donning these lights, it would really call attention to our club and bring smiles to hundreds of adoring onlookers! At another ride out it looked awesome!
Of course those who don't have the lights will also be encouraged to ride but perhaps our "lightbearers" will ride front and center to announce the arrival of the SBA faction.
After the parade, the grill will be fired up with hamburgers and hot dogs!
Guided off-road rides
* Donations are appreciated and will be used for SBA’s “Bikes for Kids” charity.
SBA provides Christmas bikes and helmets for needy children in White Springs with this fund.
Please RSVP to Joy Taylor.
