In 1997, John Farugia arrived in San Antonio via Chicago and he joined the club the following year. His passion for cycling grew once he became a SAW member. For example, he served as the club president from 2001 through 2005 and helped the American Diabetes Association create the very first San Antonio to Austin Tour de Cure.
John believes that his membership has introduced him to many awesome Texas cycling venues and events. More importantly, he feels that the club is very social and is a great way to meet people, including some with whom he's cycled for almost 20 years.
John is an executive for an ophthalmology company.
The bike he would most like to ride is his current bicycle, a Pinarello Dogma. However, when riding tandem with his wife, Melissa, John said that his Cannondale Tandem becomes his favorite bike.
You are most likely to spot him and/or his wife at rides like Toutant Beauregard, Kendalia, Blanco, or any rides in Gillespie County.
Let's get the word out about the 2017 RnR 100!
We might have to delay the Krueger ride's start due to fog.
The start of the February 5th ride in Boerne is being delayed until 10:30 AM.

Jim Lefko and his wife, Laurie, arrived in San Antonio via Indianapolis. He worked as the sports editor of the Indianapolis Star from 2000-2015 and is an avid follower of the KC Royals, Indianapolis Colts, and Texas Longhorns.
After covering the Spurs in the pre-David Robinson era, Jim joined the Express-News, and since May 2015, is its sports editor.
Despite having spent years riding recreationally, he is relatively new to riding on Texas roads. Jim was introduced to our club by David Levinson, our new Ride Chair. He has enjoyed two summer rides with us and feels like a 16 year old driving a Ferrari in his just inherited vintage Colnago.
As to his favorite Wheelmen ride, Jim enthusiastically says “the next one”.
In addition to working out regularly at LA Fitness, he enjoys hiking and traveling in his spare time.
