The Canyon bike was won by Geoffrey Braiman. Congrats, Geoffrey!

A Beautiful Day for an LG50
Another great LG50 ride took place last Saturday. The kudos go to Dan Mitnick for leading the ride, Craig White for the SAG, and Jan Datomi for being the glue that holds it all together. We collected donations for Meal-on-Wheels West LA. You can still give by clicking the link below.
What a fine-looking bunch!
