🚴♂️ Borrego Cheers for Lukas!
Austrian ultra-cyclist Lukas Kaufmann has been training right here in Borrego Springs for the 2025 Race Across America (RAAM)—a 3,000+ mile, nonstop race from Oceanside, CA to Atlantic City, NJ, starting June 10.
On June 4, the community gathered at Carlee’s to wish him well. The event was organized by Peter Kellner, whose effort and local spirit brought people together. Locals, nonprofit leaders, and business owners showed up to support—alongside the Borrego Springs High School baseball team, proud Manzanita League Champions and CIF San Diego Division V:AA runners-up this season.
Lukas chose Borrego for its quiet roads, tough terrain, and supportive community. Among those cheering him on was Franz Steinberger, organizer of Austria’s Kitzbüheler Radmarathon and part of Lukas’s support circle. A new documentary film is also underway, capturing Lukas’s journey across America and his time training in Borrego.
The event drew support from across the community, including Martha Deichler of the Borrego Springs Community Resource Center, Rams Hill’s Harry Turner and Jesse Langridge (the new General Manager of Rams Hill), Dale Jones of American Legion Post 853, Wade Beane of the Borrego Art Institute, and Franz Steinberger, organizer of Austria’s prestigious Kitzbüheler Radmarathon, who has been in Borrego Springs supporting Lukas’s acclimatization and preparation. Andy Macuga, owner of Carlee’s and a beloved Borrego Springs High School coach, also welcomed the gathering with his signature community spirit. Tim White, Assistant Principal and Baseball Coach at Borrego Springs High School, was there to show support, alongside many student-athletes. The Borrego Water District was also well represented with General Manager Jeff Pool and Director Gina Moran in attendance.
Coffee time. ✨ Kendall’s Cafe
“Borrego Cheers for Lukas!” Today at 6PM at Carlee’s! Our winning High School baseball team will be there in uniform also to cheer Lukas on! Come down and congratulate them for being Manzanita League Champions CIF San Diego Division V:AA Runner Up.
You’ve probably seen Lukas Kaufmann riding circles around the valley every day for the past few weeks. He came over early from his home country of Austria to practice here for the Bike Race Across America called RAAM (starting June 10th in Oceanside and expecting to arrive Atlantic City on June 19th). Lukas came in 2nd last year and hoping for 1st this year! He’s chosen Borrego as his training ground!
And while you are at it,
Come to Carlee’s at 6PM for pictures and to meet Lukas and wish him well in his 9 day bike ride across america. - Peter Kellner
