To quote one of Gordy's long-time friends, "Gordy was considered the “heart and soul” of his beloved San Diego Cyclo-Vets Bicycle Club."
The Cyclo-Vets are enthusiastic supporters and participants in the Memorial ride each year, in honor of this Cyclo-Vets legend.

Ride the Point was inspired by the late Jim Krause, an avid bicyclist, Rotarian, Cyclo-Vet and family man. Like all of us who ride, he loved getting out there with other cyclists for a day of riding, fun, and comradery. He lived life to the fullest and dedicated himself to the cause of finding a cure for pancreatic cancer.
Ride The Point is organized by the Point Loma Rotary Club. San Diego Cyclo-Vets is an annual sponsor of Ride the Point and many of its members volunteer each year on the organizing committee and as course marshals.
