Board Nominations

Hello La Grange Cycling,
Throwing my helmet in for consideration to be on the La Grange Board of Directors. Over the past several years I’ve ridden with the club, albeit from afar, but always with great admiration and gratitude for what the club brings to the community and me personally.
I would love to be considered to take on a bigger role and give back to a community and organization that has given to me all these years.
Thank you for the opportunity.

Best,
Bodie Olmos

I have been riding with Lagrange for well over 20 years as I believe I  first became a member in  2000. I'm an avid cyclist who rides just about every day of the year. I would like to concentrate a bit more on the commuter aspect of the club. Now that electric bikes are bringing  "civilians'  out on two wheels this could be a good opportunity to widen the club base.

Nominating Statement: Marco Fantone

Hello La Grange members. Most of you already know me as the guy who leads the Friday morning Marina ride and who has a rather sizeable collection of vintage La Grange jerseys! I’ve been a clubmember since 1997 and was president of Velo Club La Grange from 2009-2012. I’m proud to have been able to contribute to the growth and success of this club over the years. When I first joined, La Grange was a club of just over 100 members with a small squad of racers. Back then, there was no Piuma Hillclimb, no La Grange Cup, no La Grange van and no La Grange Facebook page because………..Facebook didn’t exist! We are now a club of over 400 members with riders and racers competing in all types of cycling-related events. The success of La Grange is due to active collaboration whether it’s planning for a La Grange Cup event, an LG50 ride or assisting on the design of the next La Grange kit. I place a great deal of importance on being out on club rides and interacting with riders and racers in all clubs, not just La Grange. And alsobeing accessible by text and e-mail and having board meetings that are open for any club member to attend. The more we can bring people and ideas together, the better our club is. It’s that simple. And that’s why I would like to retain my seat on the La Grange board; to continue motivating both current club members and those new to our sport and our club to get involved and help make La Grange a fun and rewarding experience for all club members.

Marco Fantone

I nominate myself.  I run on fiscal responsibility and common sense.  Cheers!
