RACE REPORT: Peter Dorantes is State Champion

 

By Peter Dorantes

The SCNCA State Road Championship @ San Luis Rey Road Race
Nick, Victor, and I traveled down to Bonsall, California (East of Camp Pendleton) for the State Road Race Championship on April 8th. Nick raced the 55+ while Victor and I did the 50+ category which was four 14.8-mile laps for a 60-mile race. The 45+ and 50+ fields were combined so the race was fast from the beginning. Within the first lap and a half, several breakaways went up the road but none stayed away. On the second climb up the hill, I decided to try a breakaway and attacked at the finish line turnaround. This is a false flat, leading to a twisty descent. I rolled away pretty well on the descent and was able to get out of sight of the peloton. After about 5 miles solo, I was joined by none other than Rudy Napolitano who was racing the 45+ division. We were both motivated to stay away and worked very well together. We managed to stay away for two hard, fast laps, getting a gap of up to 2 minutes over the peloton. I went all out on the last lap, hammered the climb, and was thrilled to finish First.

(ed.– The State Championships in road racing is a big deal. The best and strongest racers show up here and everyone wants that Champs jersey to wear for the next year. This year…the jersey is Peter’s!!!)

MORE RESULTS
Nick – 6th (55+)
Victor – 14th (50+)

RECAP: The LAX Circuit Race

 

We had a great day Sunday at the LAX Circuit Race, co-sponsored by La Grange. It was dreary, cloudy, and downright cold but the races were heating up the place. La Grange had a nice cadre of racers in most races and Captain Laura Martin won a podium in the Women’s race! A huge thank you to Armin Rahm for putting the race on and all of the volunteers and racers who came out for the fun! Vive La Grange!

RECAP: The April LG50 ride

 
 

We had a great ride this month, with a jaunt up Latigo and then out to Trancas. The wildflowers are in full bloom and the temps were mild. Altogether a great day on the bike.

Hope to see ya there.

Meet the Member: Amanda Weinstock

 
 

Tell us about you, where you’re from, and what you like to do aside from cycling.
I’m a writer from Mendham New Jersey and live in Westwood. I like to travel, hike, shop, and watch bad TV. I’m 55 yrs old.

What type of rider do you consider yourself?
I’m new - just started last November. I’m riding in groups already, but still getting stronger.

What bike do you ride?
I’m on a Trek Domane SL6 Gen 3

How did you begin riding?
My brother, Gordon, was a Colorado police officer who was ambushed and killed while on duty. He was 51. He loved riding, and did the Steamboat, CO, Triple Bypass Ride on his birthday every year (110 miles and 10,000+ elevation)!

To honor him, I started riding with the goal to do the Police Unity ride, which begins on May 10 and covers 250 miles in 3 days, ending in Washington, D.C.

When did you join LG and why?
I joined LG to train and meet other riders. I plan to do more LG rides and events after the Police Unity tour - right now, (I’m) just focused on training!

What LG rides do you participate in?
One so far - the Friday morning LG coffee ride, this past February. I learned rides are always faster than people say. But everyone was really nice and supportive, and I was able to stay with the group even when the pace got hard.

What type of rides do you want to do next?
I'd like to do more intermediate “blue square” rides, not “black diamond.”

Let us all warmly welcome Amanda and cheer her on as she gets closer to her May target of the Police Unity Ride. You can support her cause by donating here:

RACE REPORT: The Victorville Stage Race

 

By ChatGPT (LOL)

The Victorville Stage Race
Four LG racers in the TOP 10 Overall

The Victorville Stage Race was a challenging and exciting event that tested the skills and endurance of all the cyclists who participated. With a 5.5-mile uphill time trial, a 58-mile road race at the George Air Force Base, and a 45-minute criterium in downtown Victorville, the race provided a variety of challenges that kept the cyclists on their toes.

Peter's performance was particularly impressive, as he WON the opening time trial in the Masters 50+ and managed to hold on to finish in 4th place overall in the omnium. His strength and determination were evident throughout the race, and he proved to be a formidable competitor in every stage.

The road race itself was characterized by challenging conditions, with strong winds and difficult terrain making every stage a true test of the cyclists' abilities. However, the organizers did an excellent job of providing a safe and well-organized environment for the participants, ensuring that everyone had a fair and enjoyable race experience.

Morgan James was super strong and consistent. As the only LG woman racer present, she fought like a warrior in every stage. She got 4th in the TT and had the best LG road race performance with an impressive 5th on a hilly, windy, and frigid course.

Nick did what he does best, putting up a stellar 4th place in the TT. Victor also put in a solid performance and is always the model of consistency and efficiency, finishing in 10th place overall in the omnium. New LG racer, Denny Chavez, held his own in the Cat 5s, racing hard and also finishing 10th overall.

Overall, the Victorville Stage Race was a well-run and highly competitive event that showcased the best of the region's cycling talent. With its challenging terrain and varied stages, the race provided a true test of skill and endurance, and it was a pleasure to watch the athletes push themselves to their limits. Congratulations to Peter and Morgan for their impressive performances, and to all the participants for a great race!

All LG Racers: Morgan James, Peter Do, Victor Ayala, Nick Gillock, Denny Chavez
Special guests from Hungary: Áron Éger, Balázs Szarvas

TOP 10 RESULTS (in their respective races)
Time Trial — Peter–1st, Nick–4th, Morgan–4th
Road Race — Morgan–5th
Criterium — Victor–5th, Morgan–8th, Peter–10th, Denny–10th,
GC (Final) — Morgan–4th, Peter–4th, Victor–10th , Denny–10th,

NOTE: Four out of Five La Grange racers finish a 3-day stage race in the Top 10 of their categories, with two just off the podium. Outstanding work, Team!!

RECAP: The March LG50 ride

 
 

Two LG50s in one month; oh, the embarrassment of riches. The official March LG50 was led by Lisa G and Renée Fox with an amazing SAG by David Newcombe and Jess (?). We had a great group with lots of new faces and rolled to Griffith Park. The weather was amazing and a nice respite from the rain. The roads were in remarkably good condition. The perfect day was only made better when we celebrated the birthdays of Lisa, David, and Larry L. at Gilbert’s El Indio. The food was great, the cocktails were flowing, and there was CAKE! Are you having FOMO yet? Come to the next one!

RECAP: The February LG50 ride

 
 

We had our postponed February LG50 ALSO in March. Dan Mitnick led a group of merrymakers out to the valley in what turned out to be a very fun and interesting loop. Again, we had several new faces. (we love and welcome new faces)! It was chilly but really nice with spectacular scenery. Big thanks to Robert and Simon Yates for the SAG. (not THAT Simon Yates. He could never keep up).

TRIFIT CEO fights for wellness and #equalpay!

 
 

Gina Baski, CEO of TRIFIT, is on the Board of the California Fitness Alliance and they have been working on a few initiatives. Their biggest initiative is to bring low-cost health club memberships to 14 million Californians that are MediCal recipients. They have submitted a bill that will be introduced to the CA legislature.  As Gina states, “If we discovered anything during COVID, it's that disparity exists everywhere, even in fitness.” Read the bill!

She also visited the Governor's mansion two weeks ago for the #EqualPay kick-off. TRIFIT and the CFA continue to work on initiatives to ensure that both the mental and physical well-being of Californians is considered essential, pandemics notwithstanding. Gina joined California's First Partner in her #equalpay initiative in collaboration with the Californian Commission on the Status of Women and Girls.  

“We are proud of the dedicated and talented women in the fitness industry and are committed to ensuring an equal playing field for them and all of our employees,” said Gina Baski, a board member of CFA and the CEO of TriFitLA. “We hope other industries will join us in signing the Equal Pay Pledge to ensure the pay gap in California is closed for good.”

RACE REPORT: Nick Gillock @ the VoS Stage Race

 

By Nick Gillock

Valley of the Sun Stage Race, Arizona, Masters 55+

I was the only racer from LG who was able to attend this race so I pooled resources and traveled with a Big Orange friend Andrew Nuckles in the Big Orange Van. We left LA around 9 am on Thursday and arrived for number pickup at Landis Cyclery in Tempe for number pickup at around 5 pm. We bumped into Landis racer Jimmi Woodburne in the parking lot and he filled us in that one of our (48) 55+ competitors would be none other than Norman Alvis (former 7-Eleven and Motorola team pro, 1x Tour de France and 3x Giro finisher, former USA and World Master Hour record holder, etc.). Oh Boy! After a really good dinner at an Italian Restaurant, I was back in the hotel for race prep and a good night’s sleep.

Time Trial – 10 miles, flat, out-and-back course (new course for 2023). I do try to prepare and research these things but I somehow got my brain wires crossed and thought this was a 15-mile event, whereas it actually was only 15K! This made for a bit of a surprise for me at the turn-around and left me feeling I could have gone out a bit harder. Nevertheless, I had a decent ride clocking a time of 23:36 (7th place) and losing 1:24 to the TT winner (Norman Alvis).

Road Race – 47 miles, 3-laps with a 2-mile finishing climb. I had a good plan for this one but somehow messed up the execution. I planned to try to keep an eye on the GC leader and stick to his wheel. Felt good with the race pace on the first lap but missed the fact that a few (maybe 3?) racers had gotten into a break. I was comfortably marking the GC leader the 2nd time up the hill but then I went for a hot-spot time bonus (not knowing there was a break). That left me a little gassed and soon after Mr. Alvis shot past me on the right with 4-5 guys immediately taking chase. I chased super-hard (had a 1-min power of 452w in there) but could not make the bridge. Riding the final lap in the main pack, I finished the last lap in 12th place, 4:10 back from the winner, and 3rd out of the pack. This dropped me to 11th on the GC. Interestingly the GC changed hands also, luck favored the bold with one of the early breakaway riders (Jimmi Woodburne) taking over the GC with Norm Alvis dropping to 3rd place.

Criterium – 30 minutes. This is a flat, fast 5-corner race in the governmental area of downtown Phoenix. At this point in the stage race, there were about (35) 55+ racers remaining. I felt good warming up and was hoping to ride well enough to overcome the guy in front of me on the GC and move up to 10th place. I felt great at the beginning of the race and stayed comfortably in the thinning main group while a chase group began forming. Then with about half of the race to go two riders got tangled up in front of me and crashed in the first corner. I stayed upright and came to a full stop while I watched the front pack charge up the course. As it turned out my friend Andrew Nuckles was also caught up in it and we set to work chasing. My power for the next 15:49 was 323w ave / 327w normalized but that was only enough to keep the two of us in no man’s land getting maybe within 20secs of the front group and holding off the chasers finishing 25th. Norman Alvis won the Crit. Jimmi Woodburne won the GC.

RESULTS
Time Trial – 7th
Road Race – 12th
Criterium – 25th
GC (Final) - 13th

RECAP: The L.A. Firecracker Run/Ride

 
 

By Jan Datomi

On February 18th, I participated in the annual L.A. Firecracker Run / Ride in Chinatown. The Firecracker featured 20 and 40-mile bike rides, 5 and 10k runs/walks, a kiddie run, and a dog walk. The event drew about 800 cyclists and 7,000 runners. One of the main organizers of the event is our own La Grange Board of Directors, Lisa Goldfarb.

The stated mission of the event is “to promote health and fitness, education, cultural awareness, and community involvement”. It was a fun and fast bike ride through Chinatown, Pasadena, and other local communities. The event was really well run and I got the opportunity to do something different out on the bike. One of the things I love about Los Angeles is opportunities like this to experience other cultures. This event fit the bill with its wonderful opening ceremonies featuring a Lion Dance and lighting of the firecrackers to bring good luck for the Chinese New Year.

Thank you Lisa for inviting me to this amazing event and for everything you do for the cycling community!
