Do you shop at Amazon.com? If so, it’s easy for you to help SDBC receive donations from Amazon to SDBC. Just use the “Amazon Smile” charitable process in your account. Amazon Smile funnels a small percentage of their eligible purchase revenue to SDBC if you activate Amazon Smile in your account and choose “San Diego Bicycle Club” as the beneficiary nonprofit.

Instead of logging in through "amazon.com" you log-in through “smile.amazon.com.”  Very easy to use. It is EXACTLY the same shopping experience.  Nothing changes except SDBC receives contributions from Amazon.

SDBC 2017 Sponsors

We have some new sponsors this year - Spinergy, Bonnici Law Group, and Giuseppe Restaurants & Fine Catering.

When these socks are gone, they’re gone.  We will not be reordering.

One of SDBC’s longest and most cherished traditions is returning.  After disappearing for three year the “Go Plug” has been found, and was awarded at the Banquet of Champions last month.  This traveling prize is awarded monthly to the person recognized as doing something special or fun or funny in cycling.  Lots of folks have won it for lots of reasons over the decades, including Michael Pelkey for completing his first century ride, and Mike McLaughlin for getting his picture in the “Union-Tribune” for pushing a broom on a Fiesta Island clean-up Saturday.

Rule are simple: (1) Any SDBC member may nominate any other SDBC member for any reason, (2) Nominees must be present, (3) Get the most votes to win, (4) Winners MUST immediately attach the Go-Plug to their seats and it must stay on the bike during the entire month, except during races, and (5) the Go Plus must be returned by the first Saturday of each month.

"Go Plug" voting will be done just before roll-out the first Saturday of each month.  First nominations and voting will be Saturday, March 4th.

The SDBC Masters Team includes riders ages 35 and up from all categories. Masters races provide high quality racing with a consistent and tactical style that allows cyclists of different abilities to contribute to a team effort.  Our goals for 2017-2018 are to build the number of active SDBC Masters racers, develop core groups of racers in each discipline, and accumulate points in the SoCal Cup series.

Riders in all categories who are interested in Masters racing can contact Team Director Andy Gurney at mastersdirector@sdbc.org for more information. Current Masters racers are also encouraged to touch base to establish an e-mail list and to set team priorities for the year.
