Club La Grange is one of California's largest and oldest cycling
clubs with over 400 members nationwide. The club was founded by
Raymond Fouquet in 1969 and fields one of the top amateur racing
teams in the United States. Past members include a Tour de France
stage winner, an Olympic gold medalist, and numerous U.S. National
and California state champions. La Grange is the recipient of the
USA Cycling 2007 CLUB
OF THE YEAR award.
La
Grange promotes a doping-free competitive environment. Elite racers
sign the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency's 'Athlete’s Pledge for
Clean Sport & Fair Competition'. La Grange has arranged to have
a cardiac screening and assessment provided to Club members and
elite racers for no out of pocket expenses.
Along
with the Club's dedication to bicycle racing, the club welcomes
new and inexperienced riders with a passion for cycling. La Grange
is very active in the cycling and fitness communities. Our continuing
public policy work with state and local government has led to major
improvements in safety for all users of California roads. In addition,
the Club has partnered with the Association of Blind Athletes and
Meals on Wheels and sponsors an annual scholarship with the help
of the Union Bank of California. La Grange enjoys the financial
support of several corporations committed to promoting healthy and
active living including Kahala Corporation.
