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 Ride to Oceanside Harbor ~ a Sunday Ride favorite!

No frills, no hills, no chills, no spills. Just a straight shot up the coast and back with a coffee stop at one of our favorite locations, Nautical Bean Coffee at Oceanside Harbor. And a great place for a group pic, I might add.

Leaves UC Cyclery at 8:30, led by SDBC member(s), with the focus on riding 2x2, possibly some pace-lining, a regroup in Del Mar, and a water stop at Java Depot in Solana Beach on the way back.

Bring two bottles of fluid and be ready to roll at 8:30. A group photo will be emailed to you afterwards with a short write-up.

Our aim is to stay safe, have a bit of challenge, and to have fun together.

Safety Tip of the Week:

Let motorists know what we're doing... don't keep it a secret!

Every time we approach a left turn or merge, everyone, especially those in the back, should be signaling left early so motorists know what we're up to.  They can't read our minds and don't know our route.  Let them know well before we start moving over.  Too often the front starts moving left after a motorist has already committed to passing on the left.  It can be a mess, at best, dangerous at worst. The bigger the group, the sooner we should start signaling.

And when those in the back can see it's clear, say so.  And pass it on.  Do this right and the whole group moves over cohesively fairly quickly looking like a bunch of pros instead of a bunch of Freds like me.
 

HELP FIX THE PROBLEMS ON SAN DIEGUITO ROAD:

Here is the link to the City of San Diego website to report street problems like the cracks, potholes and bumps on San Dieguito Road between Caminito Pacifica Trail and Winland Hills:
