Cyclocross Time Trial Turkey Trot
Since we could not hold our annual club ride to the South Bay, race captain and cross rider extraordinaire Sam Selfridge set up a very cool cross course at the south end of Marina Del Rey near the lagoon. Please enjoy the video and the photos from the day, which was also held to accept donations for Meals on Wheels.
Social distance with a cause. The table is for Meals on Wheels donations.
Even Sweet Bear wears a mask. We care about our bear. Please wear a mask so she stays healthy. 🤗 🐻

"Sand? What sand?" Dan Funk is a cross master.
And finished! Hardest 3ish minutes course ever, thanks Sam!
Please Meet Ruby Issac
I came across this article in Bicycling Magazine about Ruby Issac. She is 12-years-old. If you have not heard about her, you will want to. She will make you smile, and make you want to go out and ride your bike ride…with a smile. https://www.bicycling.com/culture/a34599627/riding-bikes-with-ruby-isaac/
20th Annual Meals on Wheels Donation Drive
Our Annual Meals on Wheels Donation Drive had to be a little bit different for 2020. Well, everything is different for 2020. We did not hold the usual Thanksgiving Day ride down to the South Bay due to the pandemic but members set up two donation tables over two days so members could fuel and hydrate social-distance style and make a donation to Meals on Wheels. LG members are amazing and rose to the occasion by raising over $4,000, which will be matched! Thank you to all that were able to contribute. 🤗 💙
