Do you shop at Amazon.com? If so, it' 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.

The 2020 kit is about to go to design stage, thanks to everyone who helped with the drive for sponsors. If there are any last minute sponsors please let’s hear them from you or the sponsors in the next few days.

SDBC has an annual operating budget of $225,000 including cash and trade.  We use the biggest part of that to support the 80+ racers in our teams for juniors, and women & men of all ages.  Just this year racers representing SDBC won national, state, and district championships, competing in road, track, and mountain bike events.  So far this year, SDBC has had 78 Firsts, 58 Seconds, 45 Thirds, and 363 top Ten Finishes.

We also organize some of the best races in the country, including the Barrio Logan Grand Prix and the Fiesta Island Time Trial Series.  We’re working to add more.  We’ve just expanded our Mountain Bike Team to include dirt, gravel, and cyclocross, renaming it the Off-Road Team.

Of course there’s our world famous Saturday rides - always free and open to the public; and our free kids bike safety rodeos where we give away helmets and offer safety training.  (We’d love to find a sponsor for the Rodeos.)  Plus FREE member-events like  Club Nights, the Volunteer Party, holiday rides like the Cecy Krone Memorial Ride on Labor Day, the fourth of July Red, White, & Brew Ride & bar-b-q, and  Black & Green Friday Ride & pizza party, plus free rides on New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.  And our annual Banquet of Champions.

We could not field the incredible teams of athletes and do all the other things we do without the strong support from our sponsors like Spinergy* (cash + wheels), Specialized (bikes), UC Cyclery (all kinds of incredible support + cash), Pactimo (kits + cash) Roka (sunglasses + cash) PLUS cash from Sheffield Platers*, Bonnici Law Group*, Milikowski Tax Law*, Specialty Produce*, Purely Cloudy, Solana Beach Coffee Company,  The Physical Therapy Effect, and Eppig Brewing.  THANK YOU ALL!

(*Owners/partners/employees are SDBC members and ride with us on Saturdays.)

It takes an incredible amount of volunteer time and cash to do it all.  Right now we need your help to find sponsors for 2020!

If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor, let us know. If you have friends, cycling buddies, and business partners who might be interested, please talk to them or shoot an email to sponsorship@sdbc.org and I’ll contact them on behalf of the club.

Please remind them that SDBC, founded in 1946, is the oldest and largest bicycle club in San Diego, and is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization as determined by the IRS.

Looking forward to hearing from you...

Thanks!

OCTOBER 26-27

Ride to Borrego Palm Canyon Campground on Saturday, return on Sunday, 75 miles each day. Sag vehicles will carry your camp gear for you. (No promise of vehicle support on the route, you are responsible for getting to the campsite.) All you have to do is ride.

Meet at 7 am at the Mira Mesa Park and Ride to load gear. Riders off at 7:30.

Sag drivers needed. If anyone wants to volunteer to be a follow vehicle and offer rider support, that would be great. Otherwise, drivers can head for the desert as soon as they are loaded and enjoy a ride or a hike.

Must be a club member to participate, and this event is free to club members!

IMPORTANT - START TIME CHANGE

Get ready for the ride to and from the SDBC Borrego Springs camp-out coming up at the end of October.  D-2 Ride Leader Tony Lowery, is leading rides Sundays leading up to the event.  Here is the information:

The ride is about 60 miles long with 7,000 feet of elevation gain. It goes around the Mission Valley/Mission Gorge area with great climbs and fun downhills on good pavement in most cases. You can do the whole ride or cut short as you wish. Here's Tony's ride from last Sunday: https://www.strava.com/activities/2692394976

The ride rolls out at 7:15 AM from the Rancho Mission Plaza, located at the s/w corner of Rancho S.D. Rd and S.D. Mission Rd. CLICK FOR MAP There's a Cafe/Coffee shop & four restaurants in the Plaza and a 7-11 across the street. It's probably best to park on the street unless you are patronizing a business in the plaza.

For additional information contact Tony at bikeridesd@gmail.com or call/text at (619) 852-7141.
