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.

The Barrio Logan Grand Prix held last Saturday, May 7th, was another great success despite the rain that saturated the Men Cat-4 race. A big shout out to Ralph for twenty years of doing the heavy lifting to make this event the success it has been known for. The racers, spectators, and volunteers have all expressed how well this event is run. It takes a lot of work behind the scenes for months in advance to pull it all together. So, next time you see Ralph on the road give him a high-five for twenty years of service.

By now you should have your plans to watch the Tour of California Stage 1 as it meanders along the roads we all ride or have ridden. Enjoy the day Sunday and pick out a spot to watch the race be it at the Ski Beach start, the 'little' climb on Laurel Street, the sprint on Seacoast in Imperial Beach, the sprint on Navajo near Boulder Lake Avenue (just west of Lake Murray Blvd), the KOM climb on Honey Springs Road, or the finish line at Quivera Basin. The Blind Stokers Club will be providing secure Bike Valet for cyclists riding bikes to Stage 1 start and finish venues on Mission Bay. Visit the Amgen Tour of California web site for more information. Here is a link to the Official Amgen Program

To all BLGP volunteers,

A tremendous thank you to all Barrio Logan Grand Prix volunteers.

We could not do it without all your help. Special thanks to those who took on multiple jobs throughout the day.

There were thank yous throughout the day from participants.

Thanks again.

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:
