LGBRC Early History
The Los Gatos Bicycle Racing Club began in 1960 when Bob Tetzlaff and Jack Hartman returned to Los Gatos following the Rome Olympics and three years in the U.S. Army. Together they organized the club featuring a series of training races for junior riders, including Greg Lemond. The Los Gatos Bike Club evolved into the development club the LGBRC is today.
