La Grange is Back on the Road!
COVID has put a damper on racing but that doesn’t mean we have to leave the LG land yacht in dry dock. The La Grange van is back on the road this Sunday, November 8th. Look for us at San Vicente and Ocean in Santa Monica starting at 7 am. We’ll hang out a while. Drop by pre or post-ride for refreshments or to just say “hi.” We will be observing social distancing and have plenty of hand sanitizer to keep everyone safe and healthy! Hope to see ya there!

Diversity in Cycling
We continue to feature articles about diversity in cycling. This article appeared in Bicycling Magazine last month. It is a worthwhile read. https://www.bicycling.com/culture/a34345760/mandem-cycling-club/
2021 Mammoth Gran Fondo
Registration for the 2021 Mammoth Gran Fondo is now open. The event is scheduled for September 11, 2021. Registration is $89 until December 1, which is when the first fee increase occurs. Are you feeling optimistic about riding in a large group by September of next year? https://www.mammothgranfondo.com
SOS: Support Our Sponsors
We are proud to feature GoodPeople, who is our new coffee sponsor. They are located on the north side of Santa Monica Blvd. just a few storefronts west of Federal in West Los Angeles. They have a 3,000 square foot patio behind the coffee shop, which is a perfect “clubhouse” for La Grangers to gather after every ride…especially after the World Famous Sunday Nichols Ride. 🚴♂️ 🚴♀️ ☕️
This is a pano of the 3,000 square foot patio behind GoodPeople. They are allowing us to place bike hooks in the cinder wall to enable us to have bike parking. Please click this link to see the full size pano.
Rich, Steve, and Chuck, the owner of GoodPeople mainly talking about bikes.
The tent will be a permanent feature of the patio.
