SDBC Weekly Update

 

Amazon Smile

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.

  Have you Moved in the last year?

  If so, please email your new address to
  membership@sdbc.org

  Thank you.

2018 SDBC Sponsors

We have several new sponsors this year - Mission Federal Credit Union is our official sponsor of the SDBC Bike Safety Rodeo & helmet giveaway program, Liquid Solana Beach, our Saturday ride coffeee stop (AKA Solana Beach Coffee Company), and ROKA a perfomance design company that designs and sells performance eyewear, apparel & equipment.

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 all of our sponsors that supported us last year 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.

Interested in advertising with us? Please email our Sponsorship Director for details.

The ROKA Team Store for the San Diego Bicycle Club is now OPEN!!

San Diego Bicycle Club athletes will receive all special pricing (30% discount) and offers simply by logging in to their roka.com accounts.

There's a one-time step that each athlete must take to activate this system, and after that you won't need to do anything except log in for the rest of 2018.
Here's how to activate:

  1. Create an account at roka.com. (Or log in to an existing account if you already have one.)
  2. Click "ACTIVATE ROKA TEAM ACCOUNT."
  3. Enter your "team handle" and "team passcode", and submit. The handle and passcode for San Diego Bicycle Club athletes are listed below.
       Team handle: SDBC (not case sensitive)
       Team passcode: 3717
  4. You'll see a confirmation message showing that you're registered. Now you're done – go get what you need to ‘find faster’ this year!

IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you activate, your team prices will only show up once you begin checkout. We know this could be a little confusing and will work on improving it, but for now, rest assured that you'll get your special pricing – just not until checkout.

Once activated, this new system will auto-populate all team pricing any time you're logged in – i.e. year-round discounts, special "kickers" for promotions, etc.

We're currently running a closeout on 2017 gear to make way for our 2018 models. For the public, we're offering 40% off of 2017 Maverick Wetsuits, Viper Swimskins, and SIM Shorts, and 50% off Gen I Tri Race Apparel. We're kicking it to 50% off all those products for San Diego Bicycle Club athletes. Fair warning that sizes are pretty limited, but if we've got your size still, you can score big.

We're eager to help with any questions, as we do understand that this is a new system. Just email teams@roka.com or call +1 (877) 985-7652 any time Mon-Fri 8am-8pm CST and let us know you're with San Diego Bicycle Club.

A Note From the President
San Diego Bicycle Club

    What do you
    want our Club
    to be?

The Board of Directors is thinking about that now.  Help us create goals and objectives as part of our 3-year vision plan for San Diego’s oldest and largest cycling club – we turn 75 in 2021!  So please, give us your ideas.  We want to hear them.  Please email them to me at president@sdbc.org.

Goals & Objectives must align with the purposes for which our Club was formed.  You’ll find those purposes on page one of our Bylaws, which are online at SDBC.org under both the “About SDBC” and “Board of Directors” tabs.

A Note From the Training Director

San Diego Bicycle Club  
February Go-Plug Winner

Aaron WangCongratulations to 9 year old Aaron Wang for winning the prestigious Go-Plug for January! Aaron was nominated along with his teammate Evan Aparri, by the Junior Team Director. Both boys were recognized for their hard work in preparing for the race season and their having made the jump up to the Development Rides recently. Instead of holding a group vote, the boys settled it with a "Rock Paper Scissors" duel. Last season Aaron won the US Kids Track Cycling Challenge and the Winter Scholastic Series Track Race. Aaron will proudly hang the plug from his saddle until we choose the next winner the second Saturday in March.

A Note From The Bike Coalition Liaison

San Diego Bicycle ClubSDCBC Logo

Do you use a mirror yet?

Former pro cyclist Tom Soloday tells Bicycling Magazine about his mirror use:

"I used to think helmet mirrors were dorky. But as I transition toward dad life, I care less about what other people think (I’ve also started wearing cargo shorts and sport sandals) and more about staying safe. ...  And wearing a mirror on my sunglasses has changed the way I approach riding—for the better."

My own notes on mirror use can been seen on Google Docs
