The Queen Stage.  Get ready, because even reading this one is going to hurt.  The day’s stage was an unending ride over kicker after kicker along the coast of Martinique, finishing with a 10k climb starting at kilometer 80 and a long but not steep descent to the finish (with a few more kickers for good measure). I knew the day would be hard, but I was determined to stick with the front group.

La Grange Cat 2 racer (and this year's winner of the LG Cup Stage 2 PCH Time Trial) Eric Bryan is in Martinique for the Tour Cycliste International de la Martinique.

Do you want to get more involved in the club? Is there a program or initiative that you think would benefit the club and its members that you'd like to take on? Whether it's leading a La Grange Century (thank you Rich Hirschinger), advocating for bike lanes (thank you Kory Klem, Jonathan Weiss, Jack Weiss, Rich Hirschinger, Susan Gans, Eric Bruins, Jay Slater and Mark Elliot) or smoking brisket and ribs and serving it up at this Sunday's CBR Criterium (thank you Patrick Barrett), everything La Grange does is done by volunteers.
