We are proud to announce that Linsey Hamilton won the State Scratch Race Championship this past Thursday night. In just her second year of racing and her first season as a member of Grumpy’s/LGR, Hamilton has turned into a force on the velodrome. In a race stacked with the top riders from the area the sly Hamilton was able to rely on help from teammate Megan Lennon in taking the victory.

Attacking with a scant 500m to go on Hamilton was able to hold onto the victory despite a late surge from last years champion Elena Dorr (Speedfix). This State Championship is a first for Linsey and it promises to not be the last as quite a few more championships are on the line throughout the rest of the season. Take a moment to visit Linsey’s personal page to learn more about here and come on out to the National Sports Center Velodrome in Blaine on Thursday nights this summer to see our very own State Champion on the boards.

Just some quick, but important team updates.

LGR would like to congratulate rider Jake Helmbrecht on his Silver Medal ride in the MN State Time Trail Championship! Great job!

We also want to officially welcome Megan Lennon to the team!
Megan comes to us via the UofM Collegiate team. Megan is a great asset to our team in any event, but her favorite racing is on the velodrome. Megan will team up with Linsey Hamilton week after week at the track to work the kinks in Speedfix and the Dalhman’s armor. Together they will have a strong one-two punch! Go get ‘em!

Former LGR rider Karla Kingsley (relocated to CA), recently won the Womens 1/2 Napa Criterium in CA! Beating a strong pro-filled field. Congrats Karla!

And finally, we as a team and community, would like to send our love and support to our teammate Jason Prudhom. Jason was recently diagnosed with cancer. As far as we know, Jason’s cancer is treatable and as always he is keeping his head up, and being positive about the situation. Jason is a big part of the backbone of LGR. Please visit his blog and leave him some comments of support. Thanks.
