Beth Lubov is a Category 4 racer who joined LGBRC in the spring of 2007. She recently relocated to the west coast after completing graduate studies in North Carolina. She grew up in South Jersey and spent several years in Philadelphia.

What first interested her in cycling?
" It started as a love affair with the graceful movements of the city couriers.  Oh how I wanted to move like that.  Those guys could dodge and weave traffic while making it look more like art than skill.  I picked up a bike and started commuting everywhere across the city.  Who needed public transportation when I had my own two wheels and two legs to get me there?"

"After a few years out of the saddle, I moved to CA and fell in love with cycling again.  It began as envy of so many cyclist out on the road that I knew were traveling down roads I'd never know.  Then it turned into the love of speed and pushing myself to go as fast and as far as I could. "         

After a four year hiatus from riding, Beth dusted off her trusty Cannondale and began training again in the winter of 2006.  She completed her first official century ride in Solvang, CA in March 2007.  From that moment she was hooked on endurance riding and set her sights on winning her CA Triple Crown Award.  Three weeks after her second ever hundred-miler, Beth returned to Solvang to complete her first double century.  The Davis Double and the Grand Tour Highland Tour Double Century round out the requisite three doubles in one season necessary to accomplish her goal of having her very own coveted Triple Crown Winner jersey.  This fall will mark her transition from a focus on endurance riding into road and criterium racing. 

When she's not training, you'll find Beth checking out art or independent cinema or mentoring a group of riders with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team in Training.
