We are one of California's largest and oldest cycling clubs with over 400 active members. Based in West Los Angeles, the club was founded by Raymond Fouquet in 1969. Over the years, La Grange has become a community institution and has fielded some of the top amateur racing teams in the United States.
Velo Club La Grange has a history of successful men's, women's, and junior race teams in all categories on both road and track, from beginner Cat 5 racers to experienced Cat 1 racers. Past members include a Tour de France stage winner, a racer in the 2012 Tour de France, an Olympic gold medalist, and numerous U.S. National, Mexican, and California state champions. In 2007 and 2020, La Grange received the USA Cycling CLUB OF THE YEAR award.
We welcome cyclists of all abilities as members, whether active racers, "sportive" riders, or recreational cyclists. All we ask is that you bring a positive and supportive attitude to our club and the greater cycling community.
Our members enjoy special offers and support from our sponsors, including Pedal Mafia, Rudy Project, ACTS Law, Lee Ziff Real Estate, Caffe Luxxe, and others. We also host a number of events for our members, ranging from monthly happy hours and our annual picnic and awards dinner to our monthly LG50 group rides and annual hillclimb. These are open to all members, regardless of experience or ability.
We are also 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 numerous California roads. In addition, the Club has partnered with other non-profit organizations to help raise money for their missions, such as the Association of Blind Athletes, Challenged Athletes Foundation, Meals on Wheels, and the Howard Krepack Fund to Fight ALS.
