As a club member for many years your experiences are always heightened by the efforts of a few dedicated individuals who always seem to be there and ready to offer their time and resources over and over again. Bill Birrell is the prime example of this indivdual.
Bill's membership goes back 2 decades. Bill's involvement with the La Grange Grand Masters along with Bob Rasner has produced a new level of Racing Category that is "Growing and Winning." Bill took a week of his time at his expense to coordinate and assist with the Senior National Games this August. Medals were won with his coaching direction. If you need a ride to an event, some coaching tips, a cup of coffee, a bar, a referral or just some conversation, Bill is there. Bill has offered his residences both in Santa Monica and Solvang for at least 20 club functions over the years. "The Gift", a history of La Grange, was produced and directed by Bill. This took countless hours and days to complete and memorializes La Grange on DVD.
Bill's relentless passion as a club member, cyclist and ambassador, day after day, make him a true qualifier as La Granger of the year."

"Bill came out this year to become the number one supporter and promoter of the men's and women's elite racing teams. Completely of his own accord he began coming out to the majority of road races and crits this year to provide feeds, moral support, etc. Futhermore, he started a fan blog dedicated to the Kahala-LaGrange men's and women's teams. He's an unselfish guy, and it's great to have someone like him around supporting our racers!."

"Aron's leadership is a priceless contribution to the club. His racing accomplishments help put the club in the national limelight and his presence on group rides is a stabilizing and inspiring force. His quiet demeanor just accentuates his incredible skills on the bike. I appreciate and trust Aron's judgment and experience."

"Putting together a top-notch women's racing team for 2009. Getting some of the best riders from so-cal to join La Grange wasn't easy, all while racing 12 months out of the year and holding down a full time job. Great job, Amy!"

"Richard did a great job in setting up the first annual La Grange Cup. This was an event that provided competitive fun for the entire club. His organizational skills, positive attitude, and overall ability to produce this was top notch. "
        - Jason Dodge

"For overseeing a fantastic addition to the club race calender in the La Grange Cup series. Organizing a street sprints event and a time trial event for the club added a highlight in the calendar for racers as well as a great opportunity for some ex- or non-racers to compete amongst their club mates in a friendly day of competition."
"This series will surely grow in popularity each year, and will certainly be another great reason for riders to join La Grange."
         - Joe Pugliese

"Stu is a huge proponent of La Grange. He always has a genuine caring towards all cyclists and likes to help out in a disarming, sweet way. He has been the face of La Grange ever since meeting him six years ago and possibly longer than that.... "

"Jay has year after year added his magic to many parts of the La Grange experience and perhaps unknown to many supported our club in the community- clearing road blocks that we thought to be "insurmountable". Jay Supported: Piuma hill climb. Brentwood Grand Prix. (BGP) Been a part of the Tuesday JV and Beverly hills group. He took on responsibilities for ride communicator. and getting the word out. Jay's Work in the LA city and local government groups (Brentwood community council) made possible our 2009 and Likely (based upon highly positive feed back 2010 BGP. Every day was Race day for Jay and on August 13th he and a hand full of volunteer's took the coordinaton of the GP to sucess. I have to say it's tough to get to know Jay cuz' his bark hides his wonderful and supportive heart. He's a star that works year after year to make La Grange and the activities successful The choice in my book - Jay Slater "

"Jay was instrumental in orchestrating the Brentwood Grand Prix this year. Without his many hours of preparation and participation, this event would not have been the success that it was."
         - Joanne Ratinoff

"He has done an incredible job for the club not only with bike safety but helping out with many events and great amounts of information in general."
         - Lauren Jacobsen

"Giant among men, the ultimate supporter of positive cycling habits, training, and good energy. He is the friendliest La Grange rider I know of, and hopefully will help to turn around the largely held public perception of La Grange as being a club of snobby assholes. No, Marc is on the front wave of turning this tide around, and he is the ultimate member of this club. His efforts in promoting the successful Brentwood Grand Prix are only a fraction of his accomplishments and presence in our community."
         - Alex Amerri

"He has an amazing passion for the sport and is always willing to donate his time to help- Sr. Olympics, Brentwood Criterium, giving away his cycling book collection etc."
         - Tom Hill

"He has been so proactive and productive and spreads nothing but goodwill for this club. His ego is small and he is just a darn nice guy."
         - Heather Baroff

"Countless times I have seen him go above and beyond in helping others regardless of being club members or not. He is an outstanding ambassador for the La Grange club. I joined the La Grange club this year because of him. He in my opinion is an invaluable asset of the La Grange club."
