SDBC 2016 Sponsors
We have some new sponsors this year - Chrome Dome Caps, Overland & Shanahan Wealth Advisors, Sheffield Platers, Purely Cloud, and Pro Athlete Law Group.
Emerald Textiles will continue as our title sponsor, UC Cyclery is continuing as our official bike club and sponsor of the men's and women's Cat 1/2 teams, and many sponsors that have supported us for years will continue to support us this year.
Please support our sponsors. Without them SDBC would not be able to maintain the racing teams and other activities that we have all enjoyed. Visit the sponsors page on the SDBC web site to view more information about each of our sponsors or click the logos to go the specific sponsor's web site. |

| A Note from the Treasurer |
SDBC is now a 501(c)(3) charitable organization.
We received the IRS determination letter a few days ago. This means that donations made to SDBC are deductible from your taxes.
Effective date was December 3, 2015. IMO - if you drive your car to the Saturday rides, or to board meetings, or to other SDBC events where you will be donating your time, you may deduct the mileage. Your SDBC membership dues might also be deductible. Please confirm this with your accountant/tax preparer.
If you work for a company that offers matching funds for charitable contributions, ask your HR department to include the San Diego Bicycle Club as a qualified 501(c)(3). We can supply your company with a copy of the IRS determination letter.

| 2016 Barrio Logan Grand Prix Race Director’s Report |
|
2016 Barrio Logan
Saturday, May 7 |
|
It’s that time of year again and planning and preparations for the 2016, 20th Annual Barrio Logan Grand Prix are in full swing! Currently we are working hard to ensure this year’s will stand up to if not surpass, it’s outstanding reputation as one of Southern California’s premier bicycle races! Again this year we will be the SCNCA Junior Criterium Championships and part of USA Cycling’s Road Development Race Series. Plus we will feature races for Elite Men and Women, Master’s and our always popular Kid’s Races! New this year we will be having a Bicycle Safety Rodeo and the Helmet Give away at Cesar Chavez Park on San Diego Bay!
Right now we are working feverishly on raising the $6000. Cash prize list committed to this year’s race. But we need your help! If you have any leads on someone or a business who you believe might like to sponsor the race (how about you???) please give me a call. Everyone loves a race with lots of “primes”, SDBC has over 400 members, if each member acquired just one prime, this year’s Barrio Logan Grand Prix could give out 400 prime prizes!!! Primes can be just about anything: gift certificates, dinners, clothing, services, bike parts, auto parts, gift cards, cash… let’s get creative!
Speaking of needing your help; it’s time to start signing up for one of the many race day volunteer positions. Positions available are in the areas of; registration, course set-up and tear-down, course marshalling, hospitality, expo area, equipment truck driver, etc.
So if you have any ideas on sponsorship, or you want to volunteer, please give me a call (619-239-4321) or you can reach me on the World Wide Web at: Ralph@mgeracing,com
See ya at the races,
Ralph Elliott, 2015 BLGP Race Director

| A Note From The Bike Coalition Liaison |
HELP FIX THE PROBLEMS ON SAN DIEGUITO ROAD:
DO YOUR PART to help encourage the City of San Diego to repair the problems on San Dieguito Road. The more people reporting potholes, cracks and bumps, the more likely the City is to get out there and fix them. Here is the link to the website to report street problems:
http://apps.sandiego.gov/streetdiv/
The problematic section that is within City limits is on San Dieguito Road between Caminito Pacifica Trail and Winland Hills. Wouldn't hurt to mention the need for sweeping as well.
Of course, you can use this link to report street maintenance issues anywhere in the City.
SAFETY TIP: WHAT CYCLISTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TRUCKS:
This week a cyclist in Rancho Palos Verdes descending at an estimated 45 mph was apparently squeezed out by a right turning Mayflower moving van and tragically killed in a horrific right hook crash. Don't pass on the right, especially trucks!
Article:
http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/bicyclist-hit-by-moving-truck-killed-rancho-palos-verdes-371463891.html
Google street view of the intersection in the direction the cyclist and the Mayflower truck were traveling:
https://goo.gl/maps/mLaYU2kacfF2
Don't let this happen to you! See the right hook animation here:
